HTML5 Zone - A Dojo for Web Ninjas
Email
The HTML5 Microzone is presented by DZone and Microsoft to bring you the most interesting and relevant content on emerging web standards. Experience all that the HTML5 Microzone has to offer on our homepage and check out the cutting edge web development tutorials on Script Junkie, Build My Pinned Site, and the HTML5 DevCenter.
The Web as a platform is changing faster every day—blink, and you're behind.
Just look at the version numbers of browsers lately. This year we started with IE9, Chrome 8, and Firefox 4. Next year, we could see IE11, Chrome 20, and Firefox 12. The rate of change is astounding.
This is why today, we are introducing a new microzone called the HTM5 Zone. While Web Builder Zone covers a wider gamut of the web world, the HTML5 Zone will contain content that is focused solely on emerging web standards under the HTML5 umbrella as well as ECMAScript (5 and above), CSS3, and other new W3C standards that aren't technically under the HTML5 umbrella.
You can now discover, discuss, and share all of the great content currently in the HTML5 Zone. Be sure to visit the homepage daily (or just bookmark the page or add the RSS) and keep up with our daily stream of relevant content.
Don't be afraid to contribute your voice as well!

HTML5 is the most dramatic step in the evolution of web standards. It incorporates features such as geolocation, video playback and drag-and-drop. HTML5 allows developers to create rich internet applications without the need for third party APIs and browser plug-ins. Under the banner of HTML5, modern web standards such as CSS3, SVG, XHR2, WebSockets, IndexedDB, and AppCache are pushing the boundaries for what a browser can achieve using web standards. This Microzone is supported by Microsoft, and it will delve into the intricacies of using these new web technologies and teach you how to make your websites compatible with all of the modern browsers.

So I'd love to hear from you about what kinds of specific tutorials, discussions, and research you'd hope to see in the HTML5 zone. What content on the web have you seen that is strong, and what is weak?
Some ideas:
Which W3C standards still need work and which don't?
Review of the security concerns in Web Sockets and other HTML5 standards
SVG and Canvas, WebDB and IndexedDB, do we need both?
