Facebook introducing HTML5 Resource Center

After looking through it, these pages seem light on content, aside from the fact that they want you to distribute apps through their platform. A select listing of links to somewhat useful sites. Not sure that this is worthy of front page on HN because of it's lack of new or insightful content. Thoughts?

I like the fact that they put the Facebook site as a showcase on the Facebook showcase site. Feels like a silly Xzibit meme cartoon, so you can Facebook while you Facebook.

I'm not too impressed. The content is good, but they just seem to give you links to software and then say "Okay, just use this, this, and this and then you'll have an HTML5 app." It doesn't show me <i>how</i> I can use those bits of software. I can find more useful information on HTML5 through a Google search.

Great to see Facebook trying to solidify HTML5 resources on a page.<p>Typo though - HTML5 Showcase page, Google Body Browser - "Developed by Google, view the human anatomy in 3D. Uses HTML5's cenvas element and WebGL."

Their HTML5 showcase site doesn't display properly on IPhone; doesn't sound like someone I want to take advice from.

A nice start, IF you're doing client-side Javascript applications. If you care at all about Progressive Enhancement, Accessibility, and wide browser and device support, this resource center will send you down the wrong path.

Also, why don't they mention Sencha Touch or jQuery Mobile?

This is a really good, and visceral marketing campaign!
