Google has revamped its site for HTML5 developers. HTML5Rocks now has three channels - Games Business and Mobile and a confusing monochrome background.
HTML5Rocks started out a year and a half ago at a time when HTLM5 was a new and unknown standard. In reporting its launch, Ian Elliot wrote:

From its original nine tutorials it now has over sixty articles from more than thirty individuals and, as open source project, is keen to recruit more contributors.
Amazon has launched a certification program for developers and administrators who want to be able to show their competence in working with Amazon Web Services.
