I've noticed more desktop applications being built on HTML5, node-webkit, etc. Can anyone point me towards some good resources for getting started in this? I'm specifically interested in building a Windows application this way.

I think a lot of the apps you are using this, or something very similar. I've only played around with it very briefly, but like jw989 said it's pretty straightforward.

Some tutorials here: http://www.scriptol.com/javascript/ Even PHP can use an HTML interface!
Honestly, if you understand how to build frontend applications it is as simple at creating an index.html file and attaching it to the webkit browser.
