Although it is not an area where I move all that well (I’m more of backend), I think that this book explains very well all you need to follow some “good practices” in designing a web application for both desktop and mobile, always with HTML5 language like star.
The book tells us how to do step by step with several examples a website quickly and easily. It also has two appendices, one on boilerplate (tags, javascript …) and another on CSS preprocessors.
This book is intended for UX designers and frontend developers and interested in HTML5 for all platforms.
