The term "HTML5" covers so many different topics that developers have a hard time getting up to speed on all of them. Some APIs and features are part of accepted standards, while some are still a work in progress. Additionally, there are a number of great resources out there, but most are still very hard to find. As announced on the chromium.org blog, Google is releasing a new developer resource dedicated to all that is HTML5, HTML5Rocks.com.


The site is broken up into four main sections:

Interactive Presentation
The presentation everyone is talking about! An interactive slide deck written entirely in HTML5 which demonstrates many of HTML5’s features. It even includes inline examples you can tinker with.

HTML5 Playground
The best way to learn this stuff is to try it out. The Playground is a sandbox area for editing and experimenting with live samples.

Tutorials
We're launching the site with an initial set of nine tutorials covering a bunch of different areas. We’ll continue to add more over time based on your input.

Resources
We've hand-picked some of our favorite tools, reference material, and sites; all generated by the online community. Do check them out. They’ll come in handy when developing your next web app.

We hope HTML5Rocks will help developers put HTML5 to use in the real world, today. We’d love to hear your thoughts on improving the site! Send us a tweet at @ChromiumDev or post to the Chromium HTML5 group with requests for content.

CoreTemp is one application that falls into the "I can't believe we've never covered it" category. It's a tiny, free and portable CPU temperature monitor. It's a single executable weighing in at around 500KB, and it's my go-to whenever I suspect my CPU is starting to overheat.

You can download either a 32-bit or 64-bit version. The whole thing is very minimalistic. It doesn't have a temperature graph, but it does log temperature information so you can graph it with another application. It has very few bells and whistles; one useful feature is the System Information dialog, which exposes a wealth of information about your CPU. You can gawk at nerdy stats such as the exact voltage any of your CPU's core is getting (should be identical, I think). One thing I noticed with this dialog is that my CPU speeds up one core, while leaving the other core at a lower clockrate. That happens even when the computer is not doing much; I find it kind of interesting, but maybe it's the hour.

At its core, this is a simple application which does one thing, and does it well. Highly recommended.

Chromium's blog announced that the latest Google Chrome dev build for Windows and Mac includes a plug-in for viewing PDF files. The plug-in can be enabled by going to chrome://plugins/ and clicking on "Enable" for the "Chrome PDF Viewer" plug-in.

When you click on a link to a PDF file, Chrome no longer opens the file using the Adobe Reader plug-in. Instead, Google Chrome uses a basic PDF viewer that lacks many useful features like pagination and bookmarks.


"PDF files will render as seamlessly as HTML web pages, and basic interactions will be no different than the same interactions with web pages (for example, zooming and searching will work as users expect). PDF rendering quality is still a work in progress, and we will improve it substantially before releasing it to the beta and stable channels. To further protect users, PDF functionality will be contained within the security sandbox Chrome uses for web page rendering. Users will automatically receive the latest version of Chrome's PDF support; they won't have to worry about manually updating any plug-ins or programs," explains Google.

This is especially useful for Chrome OS users, who won't be able to install PDF viewers like Adobe Reader or Evince. Instead of relying on Google Docs Viewer, Chrome will be able to display PDF files faster, especially if they're saved locally.

{ Thanks, Arpit. }

Good news if you use FFmpeg in your video app or if you're simply running an application which uses FFmpeg to process video -- and let's face it, there are a ton. Version 0.6 has just been released, and among other things it adds support for Google's recently open sourced VP8 codec and the WebM container.

AAC and H.264 decoding have also gotten a shot in the arm. More detail about the release are available on the FFmpeg website.

When Google announced their new Font API and Font Directory, they gave the web publishing world a great new tool that is ready to add real business value right now. The directory is a bid to close the gap between the rich visual possibilities of print media and the typographically impoverished World Wide Web. In Google's words:

"The Google Font API provides a simple, cross-browser method for using any font in the Google Font Directory on your web page. The fonts have all the advantages of normal text: in addition to being richer visually, text styled in web fonts is still searchable, scales crisply when zoomed, and is accessible to users using screen readers."

Just last month, Google let us know that they were working on "a global browser based plug-in to allow users to opt out of being tracked by Google Analytics." It's now here, and ready for users of Chrome, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6, and Internet Explorer 7 and 8.

Head over to the Opt-out Add-on page on tools.google.com, install the add-on, and you'll no longer send data back to Google via the Analytics ga.js script. The Google Chrome extension has already been downloaded more than 2,700 times. While the installation page says Firefox 3.5+ is supported, the page reported an error when I visited using Firefox 3.7 alpha. You can, however, download the .xpi from Softpedia if you're running Minefield.

Google also announced yesterday that webmasters now have the option of anonymizing IP addresses prior to sending analytics information to their servers. The boys in Mountain View are referring to these initiatives as "additional steps to provide even more choice and transparency for both website owners and users."
