[Igor · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is collection of examples about HTML5. The examples are well explained with
full code solution, I liked that part because every example was whole solution not just
code snippet. Some newer features in HTML5 lack more examples thus the four stars.
If you learn by example this is book for you.
