is html and html5 the same??

Yea, it's the same. 5 is just saying the version of html. That's the current version. When looking at coding books always be sure to look at the date it was published to make sure it's fairly recent.

HTML5 is the newest version of HTML (the last major versions were HTML4 and XHTML1). HTML5 is awesome, but it's not 100% supported yet... so if you code for HTML5 right now, it's a good idea to create rules in your CSS that accomodate your visitors who use browsers that don't support HTML5 yet.

That said, I think within another year or 2, HTML5 will be mainstream.

HTML5 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It has better browser support, iPhone, kindle etc.

Yes, it is same but updated version of .html

Both are same its just the number of versions.

I would go with a video course rather than a book it's easier, try udemy they got good stuff here's one HTML and CSS for Beginners by Kunal sarin
and W3Schools Online Web Tutorials you can find good tutorials

As others have stated HTML5 is indeed the latest version of HTML. It doesn't matter whether you learn it from books or video's, just make sure you learn how to code properly. Always check your markup validity.

I think they are same but 5 is the latest version.

Thanks everybody for clearing that up!

html5 is just the update version of html.

Html5 is the update version of html.
In html5 has some new option to do work with 2D and 3D graphics.
I think there's nothing different so much.

No, not at all same they got some differences that old html can be written and maintained in the single document, you can create, modify your page by editing single page layout only

But in HTML 5 there is seperate CSS (Cascading Style Sheet) for maintaining all layout and the structure of website that single css file will contain whole structure of website you can modify your website architechture from that single css file only. No HTML pages contains layout features inbuilt in it.

The fifth revision of HyperText Markup Language, the core language for presenting content on the web. HTML5 includes new syntax such as tags for video that is responsive and will also play in many browsers without requiring end users to install proprietary plug-ins.

HTML5 browser will be flexible in handling incorrect syntax.

HTML 5 is just a advanced of HTML which enhanced features for programmers such as <video>, <audio> and <canvas> elements.
Lot of people might expect that HTML 5 might replace flash one day.

Ouh )))hmm google didn't give you answer !?))
P.S: yes it's same

The HTML you saw is the currently-supported-yet-somewhat-out-of-date version of HTML. HTML5 is the upcoming version that is jampacked with some great features. As some have said before me, though, it is currently not supported fully by all browsers. Buy the HTML book for now, learn it, master it, and then buy the HTML5 book about a year from now. It's useless until it is officially supported by all major browsers (IE, Chrome, FireFox, Safari, etc.).

5 is the current version of HTML we are in. HTML of course is the original

They are not the same. These are some differences that I have seen this far
HTML

Audio and are not part of HTML4 specification
Vector Graphics is possible with the help of technologies such as VML, Silverlight, Flash etc.
It is almost impossible to get true GeoLocation of user browsing any website especially if it comes to mobile devices.
Browser cache can be used as temporary storage.
Web Sockets are not available. Generally used mechanisms are long polling and streaming.
Works with all old browsers
Does not allow JavaScript to run in browser. JS runs in same thread as browser interface.

HTML5

DOCTYPE is required to enable standards mode for HTML documents.
<!DOCTYPE html>
Audio and Videos are integral part of HTML5 specifications e.g. <audio> and <video> tags
Vector graphics is integral part of HTML5 e.g. SVG and canvas
JS GeoLocation API in HTML5 helps identify location of user browsing any website (provided user allows it)
Application Cache, Web SQL database and Web storage is available as client side storage. Accessible using JavaScript interface in HTML5 compliant browsers.
Full duplex communication channels can be established with Server using Web Sockets. Accessible using JavaScript interface in HTML5 compliant browsers.
Most of modern browser have started supporting HTML5 specification e.g. Firefox, Mozilla, Opera, Chrome, Safari etc.
Allows JavaScript to run in background. This is possible due to JS Web worker API in HTML5
