Hi esteem readers of Tech4sky blog, welcome to our second giveaway contest.
I will be giving out free eBook copy of Sitepoint’s Jump Start HTML5 to three (3) lucky people, written by Tiffany Brown, Kerry Butters, and Sandeep Panda.
This short book provides a practical introduction to HTML5. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the predominant language of web pages. Originally developed as a way to describe and share scientific papers, HTML is now used to mark up all sorts of documents and create visual interfaces for browser-based software.
With HTML5, however, HTML has become much of an API for developing browser-based software as it is a markup language.
