Customer Reviews
Jim Reed @ 2011-06-30 For anyone one who doesn't need "lessons"
Besides being pretty good, this book is also quite unique: there's nothing else available in the same format. A short HTML5 reference book is great for anyone one who doesn't need "lessons" and just needs to get down to business instantly and pull info on syntax, tags and attributes. For consistency, I would even get rid of the intro history chapter - though some of the brief theory and conceptual bullet points are helpful. Also, a version with spiral binding would be better.
Paul Nuvelman @ 2011-05-30 Quick reference or long cheat sheet
Call this book a quick reference or long cheat sheet. A comprehensive cheat sheet with pictures is exactly what I need: HTML and CSS is not rocket science. Big reference books are always intimidating to me but this one presents exactly the right balance of data.
The information is compressed and straight to the point. No humor and no philosophical stuff, just raw data: elements, attributes, values, events, syntax and sample code. In addition, the book does provide key concepts and definitions. Syntax schema is obviously based on the W3C documentation, but simplified a bit. Browser compatibility tables are very handy.
I do wish that browser compatibility info would be attached to each element so you wouldn't have to look for it at the end of chapter. Sergy, if there's another addition, could you make that change?

Carl Lindh @ 2011-11-01 All you need to know about HTML5
A good toolkit for anyone who works with HTML5 whether you are a beginner or developer. This is a very pragmatic book: lots of data, tables with attributes and elements, code examples, pictures, key concepts expressed as bulleted lists - there is no wasted space nor verbose explanations. I guess, as reference this book is not meant to be read start to finish though I find it both practical and entertaining in terms of design and layout. I only wish it would also cover WebGL.
Sophie @ 2011-09-22 Quick reference
This is quite comprehensive dictionary of HTML5 tags, CSS3 attributes and the API stuff. The book is real time-saver when I need to lockup something right away. The font is kind of small for me though.
Aaron @ 2011-09-15 Very decent
I gave up scanning the web and collecting bookmarks. Quite useful book and quite quick. Lots of info compressed into some 200 pages while maintaining a bullet point simplicity.
Ravi A. @ 2011-09-10 Unique
HTML5 is essentially a collection of technologies, already years in development, that is starting to make its way into the mainstream of the Web. It is kind of umbrella term for this collection. Supposedly HTML5 will make it possible to write plugin-free Web applications, accessed with a browser, that are as visually rich and lively as the desktop applications that are now designed to run on a specific mobile device, like an iPhone. The book market has obviously exploded with several dozens of books though vast of them are guides and tutorials. There are only 2 all-purpose universal reference books I found so far: this one and another one by Thomas Powell. Powell's book is well written but it is pretty dated considering how fast HTML5 recommendation gets updated and it is perhaps a bit too long (close to 900 pages). So Sergey's book is quite unique in that respect and it is nearly satisfies my needs.
Haoyang @ 2011-08-18 Very usefull
This book is very practical. I saw ebook pdf version but decided to go for paper. I find all the good stuf I need for my mobile developement. I decided to skip phonegap and go strait html5 route. That's the way to go: code once - deliver to every mobile os. I would suggest to add touch API that just came out. Most usefull book i bought last couple years.
Rich Woerheide @ 2011-08-12 What I expected
I'd say this book is what I expected: good comprehensive reference. The book is as comprehensive as it could be considering (a) the epic scope and (b) "quick" style of this book. I'd imagine it would be quite a challenge to achieve the balance. In addition to a reference information, the book comes with the bonus: key concepts explained: actually a bit more then I expected.
