What will I learn?
- All about the differences between HTML5 syntax and previous versions, including XHTML and HTML4

- All about HTML5 forms, including new elements, date and time inputs, and required fields
- Ways to use HTML5 multimedia elements to bring your site to life
- …and much more!
Who should read this book?
Although this book is meant for HTML5 beginners, its brevity means that it can’t be comprehensive. As a result, we do assume some prior knowledge of HTML. If you are completely new to web development, SitePoint’s Build Your Own Website Using HTML and CSS may be a better book for you.
