review 1: I don't have a deep knowledge of code so I can't speak to whether or not all of that stuff is well wrought or not (it's unlikely, for example, that I'm going to be doing anything with the canvas element). But Pilgrim's explanations of the state of the field of html and how we arrived at where we're at as well as why html5 makes things easier are thorough, understandable and entertaining (assuming you're the kind of person who can find the foibles of standards groups and cludge hacks entertaining). I came away with a much better understanding of stuff that I had only gotten in bits and pieces before.
review 2: Una guida introduttiva alle principali novità di HTML 5. Tratta principalmente quello che è già supportato da diversi browser, invece di perdere troppo
... more tempo in funzionalità non ancora ben definite nello standard e non supportate. Non tratta assolutamente delle novità di CSS3 e Javascript2, ognuna delle quali avrebbe richiesto un manuale a parte. Ottimo lo specchietto riassuntivo con le versioni minime dei browser richiesti per ogni funzionalità, la trattazione di come "adattare" i vecchi browser e soprattutto lo stile di scrittura lineare, simpatico e mai noioso. Ottima anche l'appendice finale riassuntiva e molto utile il capitolo sui microdati (formato "concorrente" dei microformati). less

It is great, easy explanations and examples. But the on-line codes and examples where gone.

If all the Up and Running books are this good, I'm reading more of them.
