On: Paul Irish on HTML5 Boilerplate

[po]

I've used Paul Irish's boilerplate and I can attest that even if you decide not to adopt it outright, you can learn a lot just by reading through it.

HTML5 is one of those ever-changing technologies where what was once considered common-practice is now considered deprecated. I think this is often the case with a fast-moving, widely distributed technology. Paul does a great job of collecting a lot of wisdom and maintains it in an easy to understand format. It also does backwards compatibility right. Helped me out a lot.

Edit: Also he's a really nice guy. :-)

Agreed. His videos are also entertaining to watch (particularly both videos on things learnt from the jQuery source).
