HTML5 HACKS pleasantly exceeded my expectations. I hoped to find some interesting quirks and "tricks" buried within the HTML5 standard - and those are certainly part of the HTML5 HACKS experience - and was floored by the depth of material here as it progressed into server-based hacks using various Node.js libraries. This delivered much more than it promises and that is rare.

This is a fine introduction to HTML5. The provided hacks cover lots of diverse areas and it was very readable. Novices should be aware that the book has many, many small typos (some in code, oh no) and several styling examples are not appropriate to a printed book. No doubt those examples will look fine in the electronic version.

I'd recommend the book.

Good reference book for HTML5 features. Last 150 or so pages are node.js specific which doesn't have much to do with the rest of the book.
