I’ve come across a few nice educational articles on HTML 5 recently I want to share.
The first is from Mark Pilgrim, who has been writing a new book called Dive Into HTML 5. He has put up two chapters already, “Detecting HTML5 Features: It’s Elementary, My Dear Watson” and “Let’s Call It a Draw(ing Surface).” This is a solid work, complete with inline interactive code samples, well integrated small tables listing browser support, cool woodcut illustrations, and Mark’s trademarked sardonic whit:
The chapters themselves even detect whether your browser supports various features as it explains them to you:
The second article comes from Adam Griffiths. His article gives a general overview of the lay of the HTML 5 land, helping you to orient yourself in terms of the major new features in the upcoming standard. It’s also a nice HTML 5 cheatsheet. (Via Hawyphp).
The third good HTML 5 intro article comes from our designer brothers and sisters over at A List Apart, titled “Get Ready for HTML 5.”
Speaking of cheatsheets, even though it’s not related to HTML 5, comes a useful IE 6 cheatsheet titled “Ultimate IE6 Cheatsheet: How To Fix 25+ Internet Explorer 6 Bugs.” They have a condensed list of all the bugs and the solutions you might run into when developing for IE 6 (which I had to do for SVG Web, for example).
[Disclosure: Mark Pilgrim is on the same team as I am at Google, but I'm just blogging this because I find it a useful resource and not because I know the guy

Our Webmonkey friends have featured Opacity, a vector image manipulation tool that has a couple of features that are interesting for Web developers wanting to do HTML5-y things:
To use the new source code feature in Opacity, simply design your vector-based graphic or animation sequence and, once you’re happy with it, head to the Inspector menu where you can use what Opacity refers to as “Factories” to export your image in various formats. To get Canvas-based source code, chose Source Code for the format and Canvas (JavaScript) as the language.
We should note that there are other tools around that can do similar things with just an image file — such as Alistair MacDonald’s Burst engine, which can take SVG animations and convert them to JavaScript objects that are rendered inside of a <canvas> tag.
Opacity is a Mac OS X application and costs $90 — not cheap, but cheaper than than Adobe Illustrator. There’s also a lighter version known as Opacity Express, which still has the code export option, but lacks some other features and retails for $40.
Nice to see tools embracing the new technology. Of course, the devil is often in the details… specifically how good the code is (We all remember the old Frontpage days!) Inkscape is another example, that embraces SVG.
