    A look inside the Cross Browser Handbook

    11/28/2012 by Daniel Herken

    Update: It's now november 29nth in New Zealand so the book is available!

    Tomorrow the Cross Browser Handbook will launch (November 29nth) and as you read this hopefully all I'm finishing up the book and resources. In the last few months I've spent countless hours writing, reading, researching and fighting browser issues to get the book as awesome as possible. Today I would like to take a second and show you what the book will be all about.

    Who should read the book?

    I've created the book for fellow web designers and developers who think there must be an easy to access and up-to-date resource of all necessary steps, browser quirks and resources you need to create compatible websites using all the great HTML 5 and CSS 3 features. The book talks about the basics, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Polyfills and Cross-browser testing.

    Sample Chapter

    You can download and read the HTML 5 chapter featured in the book.
