The next edition of Upgrade Your HTML has arrived, containing fresh material for everyone interested in HTML quality and HTML optimization!
As with every part of this ebook series, focus has been on presenting code samples that allow to discuss both general and specific aspects of HTML, and therefore on offering something for every frontend developer to take away.
For this edition, I’ve been excited to work together with Stephanie Eckles—you’ll know her from projects like Modern CSS or Style Stage—as well as to extend my collaboration with Simon Pieters, who you may know from Idiosyncrasies of the HTML Parser (and Upgrade Your HTML IV!).
Enjoy your copy (and please use the feedback form included to share your thoughts)!

Description
Upgrade Your HTML is the book series for HTML craftspeople and minimalists.
In Upgrade Your HTML V, HTML and CSS optimizer Jens Oliver Meiert takes more examples of HTML to analyze, explain, and improve the respective markup.
In this edition, find tables from the past; new HTML elements; (not) being managed by code; law and order in scripts;
hidden
and seek; preload requests; intermissions; mysterious chapter names; keyboard shortcuts; microdata; and plenty of appreciation for the craft of HTML.“There are ways to improve performance by showing extra care about what you add to your HTML document, and anticipating the content. Going beyond the basics and into the nuances of HTML syntax and semantics is the value you’ll find in these pages, knowledge shared with you by Jens.”—Stephanie Eckles

About Me
I’m Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I’m a frontend engineering leader and tech author/publisher. I’ve worked as a technical lead for companies like Google and as an engineering manager for companies like Miro, I’m somewhat close to W3C and WHATWG, and I write and review books for O’Reilly and Frontend Dogma.
I love trying things, not only in web development (and engineering management), but also in other areas like philosophy. Here on meiert.com I share some of my views and experiences.
If you’d like to do me a favor, interpret charitably (I speak three languages, and they do collide), yet be critical and give feedback, so that I can make improvements. Thank you!
