Answer 3

developer.google.com and HTML5Rocks for now

Answer 4

StackOverflow for sure. I'm not active participant there, but it taught me a lot.

Answer 5

As a beginner in this trade I enjoyed
Web Programming Step by Step
by Marty Stepp, Jessica Miller, and Victoria Kirst
http://www.webstepbook.com/
Lots of slides on the site that guide you quickly through various subjects or chapters. Lot of example software.

Answer 6

For dictionary / bible resource. Jon Duckett’s HTML5 and CSS book is outstanding. I run the HTML5 Toronto group and I bought 10 of them to give out to people at various events.

Answer 7

http://www.w3.org

Hey, it's the source, right?

And also of course:

http://html5please.com/

and:

http://jquery.com/

Answer 8

MDN is the best current "bible". I append "mdn" to all my Google searches on native browser/html/css/js features.

Caniuse.com is the best cross-browser support reference.

Of course, sometimes, if you need to be careful the W3C spec is the real "bible".

For almost everything else, use Stack Overflow and go to the sources provided by answers - that's often a much safer bet when it comes to the risk of old information.

Answer 9

I used selfhtml (also for js and css) a lot. But now i just try or look at google and w3schools.

You may also refer w3resource tutorials. And of course, MDN and W3C material is very  useful.
