Customer Reviews & Comments
Web development is a rapidly changing area--especially with HTML5. The authors of this book are commendable for their efforts on this cutting-edge topic. I learned a lot on many topics by using this book including: --New and deprecated HTML elements --window.JSON --HTML5 Canvas --Video containers --Geolocation API --WebSocket API --Web Workers and Web Storage API This book opens up a lot of new possibilities for web development on the client side. By reading and using the examples offered in the book, it helps me to think different projects can be beneficial by using HTML5. As with any emerging new technology, HTML5 is still changing and evolving. This book is a great starting point. This book does not have examples on how to build an end to end application using HTML5. Rather, this book focus on some new features of HTML5.
