foreword by Jeffrey Zeldman

HTML5 isn’t as confusing as it once was, but it still isn’t straightforward. It’s an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, change in the ongoing story of markup—and if you’re currently creating websites with any version of HTML, you’re already using HTML5. Harness the power of this essential evolving spec with help from Jeremy Keith and Rachel Andrew. Brush up on syntax and updated elements, and get ready to work with responsive images, microformats, and microdata. Through clear, practical examples, you’ll be up to speed in no time.

What’s new in the second edition?

A lot has changed since this little book was first published. Cowritten and introduced by Rachel Andrew, the second edition highlights exactly how to implement those changes. From wrangling JavaScript APIs to revisiting the canvas and managing rich media, this updated original continues to be the perfect primer.

What People Are Saying

  • Rachel and Jeremy cover a very wide spectrum of everything you need to know about HTML5 in a short, easily digestible format. They clear up a lot of confusion about HTML5 features, especially when comparing old and new. Highly recommended for anyone who wants a solid overview (including relevant history) of HTML5.

    —Sara SoueidanFront-end web developer

  • HTML remains the foundation of everything we build for the web, from the simplest page to the most complex experience. To properly understand this foundation—particularly in its most recent incarnation, HTML5—there’s no better primer than the second edition of this book.

    —John AllsoppCofounder of the Web Directions conference series

  • Crack open this book after you fasten your seatbelt in Boston. Before you land in Chicago, you’ll stop worrying and finally, fully understand HTML5. As usual, Mr. Keith takes a complex topic and eloquently describes it for the rest of us.

    —Dan CederholmCofounder and designer at Dribbble and author

  • With superhuman ease and wit, Jeremy Keith always makes the densest technical concepts seem approachable, intuitive, and—dare I say it—fun. He’s done it again with HTML5.

    —Ethan Marcotte Web designer and author of Responsive Web Design

About the Authors

  • Jeremy Keith is an Irish web developer living in Brighton, England, where he works with the web consultancy firm Clearleft. He has written two previous books, DOM Scripting and Bulletproof Ajax, but what he really wants to do is direct. His online home is adactio.com and his latest project is Huffduffer, a service for creating podcasts of found sounds. When he’s not making websites, Jeremy plays bouzouki in the band Salter Cane. His loony bun is fine benny lava.

  • Rachel Andrew lives in Bristol, England. She is the cofounder of edgeofmyseat.com, the web development company behind Perch CMS. She works on everything from product development to DevOps to CSS, and writes about these subjects on her blog at rachelandrew.co.uk.

    Rachel has been working on the web since 1996 and writing about the web for almost as long. She’s written several books including the bestselling CSS Anthology from Sitepoint, and recent ventures into self-publishing have produced The Profitable Side Project Handbook and CSS3 Layout Modules, Second Edition. She is a regular columnist for A List Apart as well as other publications online and in print. When she’s not writing, Rachel often works with other authors as a technical editor.

    Rachel is a keen distance runner who encourages people to join her for a run when attending conferences, with varying degrees of success!
