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.
