Dive Into HTML 5 preview (by Mark Pilgrim)
- behe101 17y agoI'm quite impressed already. The tutorial on the <canvas> element is highly informative despite its incomplete state. This has great potential, and I'm looking forward to its completion and release.
- jsonscripter 17y ago↜ Invisible canvas Haha this book looks amazing and beautiful.
- rufo 17y agoThis might be the first tech book I'll appreciate more from reading online than from a printed page.
- Tarks 17y agoI've always felt bad about this, I'm 21, grew up with a computer etc but if I'm going to be doing a lot of reading I'll take a printed page every time. Sometimes I feel guilty for printing out online essays etc, I'd like to try an ebook reader/kindle but I'm a poor student ^_^
- sho 17y agoWhatever you do, don't buy a laser printer. If you're anything like me, the combination of feeling a great sense of satisfaction at how fast the things are (still!) and liking reading pages more than the screen will lead you to print out everything.
- feverishaaron 17y agoI dig the multicat feature in HTML 5. I'll have to use that one.
- GeneralMaximus 17y agoI love Mark's writing. I learned Python from Dive Into Python a few years back (when I was still in high school). His writing is simple and concise. Clean, just like Python code :)

- gchpaco 17y agoThe typography here is very interesting; I'm quite curious now how the final book will look after typesetting.
- defunkt 17y agoThe canvas chapter is great. Can't wait for him to finish it.
- ionfish 17y agoYeah, it inspired me to spend an hour at lunch messing around with canvas. I can see some really nice uses for it as a tool for progressive enhancement—for example, you could replace a table of values with a histogram in browsers that support canvas and have JavaScript enabled.
