I picked up this book because I wanted to stay current on the new technology even though I don't directly work on the web development. This book totally satisfied my goal.The author, Brett McLaughlin, is an acknowledged expert om XML and Java. He has a gift of sharing his knowledge in a way that is understandable by a non-expert. This book is written in an easy to read conversational style. It talks about rather complex concepts and structures but in the accessible terminology, which can be understood by a technical person who is not a super experienced web developer. I got a lot out of this discussion in terms of general concepts and what HTML5 is good for, and how it is different from the previous HTML versions.This book is not a programming tutorial, however it makes HTML5 sounds so interesting when you end this book you might want to start looking for a tutorial to dive deeper.Ali Julia review
