And of course, there will be a chance for prizes! Sign up for the webcast today!
HTML5 has captured the attention of web designers and developers worldwide. Browsers like Firefox and Safari, and numerous mobile devices (Apple iPhone, Google Android, Palm Pre) all have some support for HTML5—but it's not obvious what you can use. That's where this video and booklet by Tantek Çelik steps in. It delivers a solid introduction to HTML5 and how to get started today. Çelik provides instruction, examples, and explanations to get started with using HTML5 immediately, both in new projects, and in transitioning existing HTML and XHTML pages to HTML5. All this is explained in ways that are compatible with existing browsers and shows authors how to progressively take advantage of new support in modern browsers and devices. Check out a recent interview with the author.
