This is a guide to HTML5 Boilerplate for Rails developers. Like Rails on the server side or “backend”, HTML5 Boilerplate provides structure and conventions for setting up HTML5, CSS3 styles, and Javascript for front-end development. It is a popular starting point for many front-end developers. However, some aspects of HTML5 Boilerplate are not useful for Rails projects. Sorting through the HTML5 Boilerplate documentation to find what’s useful for Rails can be confusing. This article lists each component of HTML5 Boilerplate and identifies its usefulness for Rails applications.

Bucky Roberts (thenewboston.com) introduces the HTML5 family of features and APIs in this YouTube playlist of 53 (so far) 4-5 minute tutorials. As Bucky Says, HTML5 is an evolution of the "HTML Burrito" of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and he has earlier video courses on these as well. I've only watched two episodes, but they seem good quality to me.

Thanks to mrparkin for the recommendation.

Mark Pilgrim wrote Dive Into Python (bookmarked elsewhere in this collection) and here he is writing an emerging O'Reilly Book called "HTML5: up and running" which will be released in a similar way ... in paper with on-line version available under Creative Commons. It is now being maintained by the community.

Chapter 2 of Mark Pilgrim's book. This one is interesting in that it is both a discussion on how you might, as a web developer, use JavaScript to detect your customer's browser support for the new HTML5 features, as well as, at the same time, using these/

I asked for suggestions for a replacement for Netskills TONIC and Chris Hall (@chris_hall) passed on this recommendation from one of his students: BBC WebWise. This is a beginner's course aimed at adults who are new to computers and the internet. It has a very wide brief which seems to be the closest to TONIC in it's range of topics. Very high-quality resources as well as you'd expect from the BBC. Although not a direct replacement, WebWise was the best alternative that I have come across so far, and is the one I will be using with my EG-152 class this year (I will be linking to the Internet Detective and OU Safari too).

I asked for suggestions for a replacement for Netskills TONIC and Sam Oakley (@rscsam) also suggested SAFARI "a guided expedition through the information world." This resource was developed by the Open University (OU) and looks like a comprehensive tutorial on accessing, finding and reviewing information  -- and not just from the Internet. The recommended time to work through the examples is 10-13.5 hours. TONIC was much more of a beginners guide to the internet but Safari looks an excellent resource for students embarking on a research project.

I asked for suggestions for a replacement for Netskills TONIC and Sam Oakley (@rscsam) suggested the Internet Detective (developed by the University of Bristol and Manchester Metropolitan University from an original tutorial by Marianne Peereboom. Though launched in 2006 it doesn't appear to have been updated since 2009. TONIC was about the internet generally though, not just research.

"Last month I did a talk at the Campus Party, one of the biggest technology events of the world, talking about Fireworks, HTML5 and CSS3. It was very nice, the receptivity of the audience was sensational, and thinking that many of you would also like to see the contents of the workshop, so decided to write a full case study and share here on the blog."

"When we helped to promote the recently released HTML5 Boilerplate in early August, multiple comments were made, which expressed a desire for a full video overview of the template. Thankfully, Paul Irish, the co-creator, recorded a full video walk-through, exclusively for Nettuts+. In this screencast, he meticulously reviews each page, and then further goes on to explain why and when you would use each snippet in your projects.

The product of years of learning, this video is not to be missed! Even if you have no intention of using this template, you’ll still learn an array of helpful techniques. "
