Pre-ordered it a couple weeks ago. Can’t wait!

Already ordered it and I can’t wait to read it. I like the fact that it’s short and its design also looks good. After listening to the “Big Web Show” podcast with Jeremy Keith, I’m sure the content will be rock solid too!

I thought html5 still in proposed stage. Not finished until 2012.

Sifting through a bunch of HTML5 resources in the past month is making this book look very attractive. Also, some of the best programming ebooks I’ve read have been very short and focused. 85 pages seems like a good length to cover the fundamentals.

Hi,
thanks for your hint! Will there be a student’s discount or let’s say an eBook version?
Regards, - Alex

@JimmyChan,
A lot of the features in the HTML5 spec are somewhat available in browsers right now (namely WebKit and Gecko browsers and the forthcoming IE9 ). But there is no need to wait until a final spec is released and implemented to start learning HTML5 .

Pre-ordered my copy. Jeremy on The Big Web Show podcast made a very good case for it.

jeremy keith is one of the best on tech. his DOM Scripting book was extremely understandable and easy to read, same with Bullet Proof Ajax. Definitely looking forward to this one as well.

If you decide to release an ebook version (on kindle, ibookstore or plain old PDF ), I’m in. Not interested in the dead tree version though.
