I went to an unconference last night in Ann Arbor, Michigan and a developer from Mozilla on the Bespin project shared the html5rocks site and this compatibility site:

I recently came across Paul Irish´s boilerplate.

It is an experimental html5 framework?, based on an html5 doc with javascript support for old browsers, among other things. Really impressive.

There is no production version yet but the current version works nice and smooth. Here is the link:

Checking the RSS feed of Ajaxian, I found a collection of articles regarding HTML5 and CSS3.

The CSS3Live course in general was pretty good...a nice overview. And, check out John's CSS3 sandbox here:

http://westciv.com/tools/gradients/

It let's you play around with the new properties and generate values. It's especially useful for things like gradients because of the huge differences between webkit and gecko/moz rendering and syntax.

If you haven't seen this demo yet, definitely check it out (especially anybody who is also taking one of the Processing courses).

Sources for HTML5 video, its compatibility and website integration:

mirovideoconverter.com
videojs.com
protofunc.com/jme
apiblog.youtube.com/2010/07/new-way-to-embed-youtube-videos.html

Not all browsers support the same video codec, so you can ues the first link to convert you video into the different formats. VideoJS and JME help you to embed videos with a Flash fallback and Youtube gives the possibility to upload the videos and get an iFrame with the support video content.

This time I was not able to post the URLs as links as the spam filter catched them. Direct links with "video" in them seem to trigger this...
