Learning HTML 5

Question

I've seen some cool stuff that HTML 5 can achieve, but when I browsed amazon to see if there was a good book on the topic, there was none (at least today: 11/29/09).

So my question is:

Do you know about a good tutorial (a deep one, not just a quick how-to) for HTML5?

Please don't point me to the reference, I'm looking for something more practical.

Thanks

I know you said "don't point me to the reference" but actually, I think the official W3 page is pretty good for looking at what's available and what it does:

http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/

Just look at the elements in Section 4 and see what's new.

In this site you will find the features that are currently supported by browsers, dates for support for future features + tutorials(per subject).

I think it's convenient since it's pretty annoying to try and learn something that is not supported in any browser yet...

Shows a very nice list of new features, a demo of each, and what browsers support each feature.
