Announcing HTML5 in Action
I am currently co-authoring my second book, HTML5 in Action, due to be published early 2012 by Manning Publications. The book is currently available on the Manning Early Access Program, which allows you to download chapters as they become available, and receive the final edition of the book when it is published in either e-Book or printed formats (if you buy the printed version directly from Manning, you get the e-Book for free). For more information on the book, see the book’s web page athttp://manning.com/crowther2/.
The other authors on this title are Rob Crowther, a UK-based developer who is also the writer of Manning’s Quick & Easy HTML5 and CSS3 book; and Ash Blue, from Chicago, IL, who is a HTML5 games development guru. There are currently three chapters available for download (you can get Chapter 1 for free), and four more should follow in the next few weeks. You can discuss the book with other readers (as well as myself, Rob and Ash) on the Manning Sandbox Forums.
