Book description
Suddenly, everyone’s talking about HTML5, and ready or
not, you need to get acquainted with this powerful new development
in web and application design. Some of its new features are already
being implemented by existing browsers, and much more is around the
corner.
Written by developers who have been using the new language for the
past year in their work, this book shows you how to start adapting
the language now to realize its benefits on today’s browsers.
Rather than being just an academic investigation, it concentrates
on the practical—the problems HTML5 can solve for you right
away. By following the book’s hands-on HTML5 code examples
you’ll learn:
new semantics and structures to help your site become richer and more accessible
how to apply the most important JavaScript APIs that are already implemented
the uses of native multimedia for video and audio
techniques for drawing lines, fills, gradients, images and text with canvas
how to build more intelligent web forms
implementation of new storage options and web databases
how geolocation works with HTML5 in both web and mobile applications
All the code from this book (and more) is available at
