What are the best resources to learn RIA programming with HTML5?

I am amazed at what can be done with HTML5 canvas (take bespin or google wave as examples). It seems it is a revolutionary approach which really leverages widespread standards and technologies (html, javascript and css) and pushes them to a new level.

It seems that HTML5 is a very strong contender for RIA solutions with strong points in portability, openness, available tools, and future userbase.

So what are resources, documentation, tutorials, references would you recommend to get feet wet and start making something cool in HTML5?

+1 A:

Hello,

The HTML 5 standard as yet as the W3C are still working, to a work draft which can be found here W3C HTML 5

That means that it will be at least another year, perhaps two, before the standard is finally defined. The training, docs etc out their are obviously based on what is in the working draft so aren't complete, and some stuff that is the current working draft will not make it into the final standard. There is a tag reference at w3c schools which will get you started, and is updated per draft. W3C Schools

I understand that Google Chrome is 100% HTML 5, although that is like saying a carrot is 22% human. Its still a carrot. I would start with that, and sign up for the Goole Wave sandbox account, to create HTML 5 compliant plugins.

Hope that helps. Bob.

Thanks Bob. I don't mind to use HTML5 before it is ratified. It all boils down to how well it is supported in browsers. And it looks like most of them move along great. It is not a big deal IMGO if things will change in the process, don't they do it all the time with framworks and languages we use?

Indeed. I did a scan of the web this morning , and I was surprised to find how little their is in terms of docs etc. HTML 5 has been on the go since early 2007, and I think we are on the third draft, so I would have thought their would be more stuff available. I found a few pointers but generally they were scaning off either other.http://www.cameronmoll.com/archives/2009/01/12_resources_for_html5/http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/html-5-and-css-3-the-techniques-youll-soon-be-using/http://perishablepress.com/press/2009/07/19/power-of-html5-css3/

“I don't mind to use HTML5 before it is ratified. It all boils down to how well it is supported in browsers.” Indeed. `<canvas>` actually started out in Safari, and was adopted by Firefox and Opera before it became standardised as part of HTML5. As Mark Pilgrim mentions in Dive into HTML5, “The ones that win are the ones that ship.”

Dive into HTML5 is great, although its Canvas chapter isn’t complete yet.
