For the most part, I agree with you. I had no problem picking up HTML4.x
from tutorials, but was getting tired of searching all over the web for
different portions of new HTML 5 tags. I know HTML 5 is, they say,
backwards compatible. I throw the "they say" in there because many of the
formatting tags from HTML4 are not recognized in HTML 5. I am learning CSS,
and have picked up most of the HTML 5 new tags. I mainly wanted a "Quick
Reference" that didn't have all of the separate agendas. Just a "here is
the tag" and here is the format" kind of thing.
Thanks for all the help! Several of the sites mentioned were great
resources that I hadn't come across yet.

In my opinion, HTML is not complicated enough to really require a book;
learning it from a few online resources should be sufficient. Now, I can
see where a book can be necessary for someone learning a programming
language for the first time, since books present examples like rolling dice,
guessing numbers, or calculating prime numbers that tutorials may not. A
tutorial may explain a loop by counting to ten in it, where a book might do
more real-world things like what I mentioned with the prime numbers. HTML
is nowhere near that complex.

Hey Jerry,
I am not sure if these resources are entirely accessible but they have been
very helpful to me:
* HTML Dog: http://www.htmldog.com/guides/html/
* HTML5 Doctor: http://html5doctor.com/
* Dive Into HTML5: http://diveintohtml5.info/
There are tons of free things out there that you can find but I'm not too
sure as far as books go. Hopefully those resources help ya out a bit.
Best Regards,
Chris Velez

Subject: [program-l] HTML5 book
Good afternoon!
I am looking for a JAWS accessible and current HTML5 book, does anybody have
any ideas which is a good one? I have found a few, but they are in PDF and,
when read by JAWS, aren't very accessible. I ask this because the
punctuation is so important, I don't want to miss anything because of screen
reader failure!
I tried some online schools, also, the CodSchool was a bust, because the
learning videos are not specific. They say things like, As you can see
here.", or "You can read the file for yourself." and I never could find
where to download the course files.
Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated! I just don't want to spend a whole
lot of money and wind up wishing I hadn't.
Thanks!
Jerry
