In 2019 there was Upgrade Your HTML, in 2020 there was Upgrade Your HTML II, and in 2021 thereâs: Upgrade Your HTML III.
Like Upgrade Your HTML II said: If you care about HTML as a craft, if you consider yourself an HTML minimalist, if you believe in pushing for boundaries (and sometimes overdoing it), then this is a right book (and a right book series) for youâwith 10 fresh examples from the field that get inspected and improved.

Description
Upgrade Your HTML is the book series for HTML craftspeople and minimalists. It stands for everything that leads to more effective and efficient use of HTML.
In Upgrade Your HTML III, HTML and CSS optimizer Jens Oliver Meiert takes 10 additional HTML examples from real websites to analyze, explain, and improve the respective markup.
Apart from discussing the appropriate use and subtleties of HTML elements, this edition touches on code consistency, class use, bundler output, but also poem markup, link types,âand even declaration repetition.
â[The purpose of the book is to] use judgement in adding âfeaturesâ into your code and even to reconsider what you might have used for no good reason, or for reasons that are no more valid.ââJukka K. Korpela
