The term "HTML5" covers so many different topics that developers have a hard time getting up to speed on all of them. Some APIs and features are part of accepted standards, while some are still a work in progress. Additionally, there are a number of
great resources out there, but most are still very hard to find. As announced on the
chromium.org blog, Google is releasing a new developer resource dedicated to all that is HTML5,
HTML5Rocks.com.
The site is broken up into four main sections:
Interactive PresentationThe presentation
everyone is talking about! An interactive slide deck written entirely in HTML5 which demonstrates many of HTML5’s features. It even includes inline examples you can tinker with.
HTML5 PlaygroundThe best way to learn this stuff is to try it out. The Playground is a sandbox area for editing and experimenting with live samples.
TutorialsWe're launching the site with an initial set of
nine tutorials covering a bunch of different areas. We’ll continue to add more over time based on
your input.
ResourcesWe've hand-picked some of our favorite tools, reference material, and sites; all generated by the online community. Do check them out. They’ll come in handy when developing your next web app.
We hope HTML5Rocks will help developers put HTML5 to use in the real world, today. We’d love to hear your thoughts on improving the site! Send us a tweet at
@ChromiumDev or post to the
Chromium HTML5 group with requests for content.
