HTML5 rocks, Google declared this week. The company launched a developer resource site devoted to HTML5 technologies and is calling it HTML5rocks.com
The budding HTML5 [1] specification features multimedia capabilities for the Web and is being embraced by companies ranging from Google to Microsoft and Apple. HTML5 covers a broad spectrum, said Eric Bidelman of Google Chrome developer relations, in a blog entry [2].

"The term 'HTML5' covers so many different topics that developers have a hard time getting up to speed on all of them. Some APIs and features are part of accepted standards while some are still a work in progress," Bidelman said. "Additionally, there are a number of great resources out there, but most are still very hard to find. As announced on the chromium.org blog [5], Google is releasing a new developer resource dedicated to all that is HTML5, HTML5Rocks.com [6]."
The site has been broken up into four main sections: Interactive Presentation, to demonstrate HTML5 features; HTML Playground, for trying out capabilities; Tutorials; and Resources.
HTML5 has been at the center of an ongoing feud between Apple and Adobe [7], with Apple saying the emergence of HTML5 means Adobe's Flash plug-in technology is no longer necessary.
