Great tips in this discussion. I have started (but not yet finished) an
HTML 5 course through Lynda.com. So far I have found the course to be very
helpful. Personal caveat: I do not yet have a project on which I can
exercise my new-found HTML 5 skills, so I don't have a good way to judge
the benefits of the course.
My 2 cents,
Deb Kahn
