I just found this book and a quite enjoyable reading for a beginner who is trained as a mechanical engineer but want to expand some horizen.

Introduction to HTML5....now I have a clue what the big fuzz is all about :)

Some good content, but a major hurdle is the all-too-often poor writing style. Syntactical issues abound. I had to re-read a number of sentences just to try to decipher what the author was trying to say. At one point he says that we'll soon get into what he termed "deep water." I thought to myself that we're already there, just because of the poor writing style. Content from within HTML tags is not formatted differently from regular text. This means that the author will discuss, for example, "a tag," and you're supposed to just automatically know that he means the "A" in "A HREF."

Concise and well written. Good primer on what constitutes HTML5 and how it can be used.

I was expecting a short introduction to what HTML 5 is, what it can beand how i could use it. Instead, I felt like I was reading about ways the other thinks it should be used. It felt less educational and more soapbox-ish (how's that for making up words).

Good writing, bud. Your fragmented sentences made introducing the HTML5 concept sort of weak. Proof reading helps. Is this a blog rant sold as an iBook? Refund?
