A decade ago, Ajax took the Web out of childhood, and now HTML5 and JavaScript are moving the Web into full adulthood. This insightful overview provides striking examples of how these technologies have teamed up to give the Web a truly open platform. Author Kyle Simpson (HTML5 Cookbook) shows you how JavaScript unlocks the power of all of the new functionality in HTML5, giving web applications the capabilities developers have wanted for years. These technologies now provide the raw tools you need in the presentation layer to replace everything you used to do with Flash. You’ll discover how: HTML5 builds natively into the web platform things we find most commonly useful, such as audio, video, and drawing The Canvas element is changing graphic animations, games, audio visualization, charting, and video effects Geolocation has spawned “geofencing” and augmented reality Web Workers allows calculations to be performed in the background, rather than compete with the UI Web Sockets is enabling realtime communication for chat, live tech support, multi-user collaboration, and gaming Mobile device APIs will give web apps direct access the phone’s camera, vibration, and other capabilities

This hands-on book shows you how to work with HTML5, JavaScript MVC frameworks, and the latest W3C specifications to build mobile and desktop web apps that are widely supported across all browsers and devices. You’ll quickly master building client-side applications with a loosely coupled backend infrastructure that supports offline clients. Learn how to incorporate web storage, web workers, geolocation, Device Orientation, and WebSockets into your application architecture, using real-world examples. If you’re familiar with server-side programming and understand the basics of HTML5, this book is for you. Assemble a coherent architectural whole from HTML5’s complex collection of parts Gain a clear understanding of client-side architecture and the “mobile first” approach Design, create, and tune eye-catching and robust mobile web apps Explore how the top five JavaScript MVC frameworks interact with the server Learn best practices for setting up a raw WebSocket server Examine how sites such as Google, Twitter, and Amazon store data Use real-world methods for applying geolocation, and learn the pitfalls of various implementations Process images and other data in the background with Web Workers

"Head First HTML5" introduces key features including improved text elements, audio and video tags, geolocation, and the Canvas drawing surface. Concrete examples and exercises are applied to reinforce these concepts.

Readers will quickly become familiar with HTML5's many new APIs and understand how they work in the mobile environment with this book. Learn how to use audio, video and graphics within the bandwith and screen constraints of mobile devices, and discover how HTML5 interacts with JavaScript and CSS3.

Web Programming with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript is written for the undergraduate, client-side web programming course. It covers the three client-side technologies (HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript) in depth, with no dependence on server-side technologies.

Master web app development with hands-on practice and video demonstration HTML5, JavaScript, and jQuery 24-Hour Trainer shows you how to build real-world HTML5 apps — both web-based and mobile — in combination with JavaScript, jQuery, and CSS/CSS3. You'll learn progressively more advanced skills as you work through the series of hands-on video lessons. Exercises and screencasts walk you step-by-step through the process of building web applications, and give you the opportunity to experiment and extend the examples to create your own working web app. You'll gain a solid understanding of the fundamental technologies, and develop a skillset that fully exploits the functionality of web development tools. Although HTML5 is at the forefront of web development, it exists within an ecosystem that also includes CSS/CSS3, JavaScript, and JavaScript libraries like jQuery. Building robust, functional web applications requires a clear understanding of these technologies, and more importantly, the manner in which they fit together. This is your step-by-step guide to building web apps, with a hands-on approach that helps you learn by doing. Master the fundamentals of HTML and HTML5 Explore multimedia capabilities and CSS3 Integrate offline data storage, background processes, and other APIs Adapt web applications for mobile phones and tablets Whether you're looking for a quick refresher or a first-time lesson, HTML5, JavaScript, and jQuery 24-Hour Trainer will quickly get you up to speed.

HTML5 and JavaScript Projects shows you how to build on your basic knowledge of HTML5 and JavaScript to create substantial HTML5 applications. Through the many interesting projects you can build in this book, you'll build your HTML5 skills for your future projects, and extend the core skills you may have learned with its companion book, The Essential Guide to HTML5. HTML5 and JavaScript Projects covers the most important areas of HTML5 that you'll want to know how to program, including: video, and audio, databases, localStorage, and geolocation. The projects have been carefully selected to help you build your HTML5 and JavaScript programming skills. You'll build games and applications, such as video jigsaws, recipe archives, paper dolls, and many more captivating examples. Each project starts out with an introduction to the basic HTML5 and JavaScript concepts covered and then includes specific, appealing examples explained step-by-step. You'll also discover line-by-line explanations for every single line of code—we'll make sure that you can fully understand what each line of code does, so that you can easily take that understanding and apply it to your own HTML5 projects.
