Where do I learn CSS3/HTML5? Book for experienced programmers

2 pointssedeki1 comment

Where do I learn CSS3/HTML5? I have quite some experience with HTML and CSS, but I'm thinking of the "cutting-edge" webdesigns. Some designs out there are really awesome -- how can I learn to write designs like that? I am a Python and C++ programmer so I'm looking for a book for experienced programmers.

CSS3: The Missing Manual - 3rd edition has some really good reviews.

But I'm somewhat in the same boat as you. In the past few months, I've been doing a lot more front-end development and trying to fill in those knowledge gaps - especially things like css layout.

But I would like really like to find a book or other resource on HTML 5 app development, not just one specific technology. I come from a thick client background, so a lot of front-end development is still painful for me and I would really love a book that presents all the technologies involved and best practices for large, client-side application web development.
