Introducing HTML5 (2nd Edition) ReviewI found this book to be a good update on the new stuff (and there's a lot more than just 30 new elements) in HTML5, including good information on WAI-ARIA and accessibility issues... and I find the price to be good for what you get.
This book mainly discusses only the new elements in HTML5, and the new form input types and attributes (which allow a level of form validation without requiring JavaScript). It also has chapters on the new "video" and "audio" elements, canvas, data storage, going offline, drag and drop, geolocation (though not part of HTML5), messaging (the Messaging API) and worker threads (multi-threading in JavaScript), and a chapter on patching older browsers to support HTML5 today (called "polyfilling"). Some useful information is given about browser support for new HTML5 elements and attributes, but not a lot (too much browser support info would just make the book get out of date even faster).
It's important to note that this book is not for the HTML beginner. The reader should already be familiar with HTML (like HTML 4), CSS, and JavaScript. Also, this is not a reference book, so don't count on that. If it were a reference book, it would be A LOT bigger and probably less beneficial.
Some have mentioned the humor in this book. Let's just say it is "childish" and "sophomoric"; the authors must have an underlying desire to be "megahunks". But many may find this type of humor funny (depending on the type of humor they like), and some could find it offensive and/or annoying and/or unprofessional.
NOTE: I had originally read the 1st edition of this book, which I also enjoyed but which was becoming outdated due to how fast things are moving now. The 2nd edition is more up-to-date, corrects some issues in the 1st edition, and has 295 pages instead of 223 pages, so the 2nd edition also has more content.
