Synopsis

HTML and JavaScript are the next big technologies for .NET developers. Microsoft has taken clear steps toward making its web and mobile offerings, and Windows itself, work seamlessly with these technologies. However, designing great software for web devices such as smart phones and tablets requires very specific skills. This book shines some much needed light on those skills.

 

HTML5 for .NET Developers details the steps necessary for the .NET developer to build fully featured HTML5 applications. Written from the .NET perspective, this book is full of practical applications and ways to connect the new web standards with existing development practices. It shows how to use JavaScript and jQuery for client-side application development, and how to take advantage of the numerous APIs available in modern browsers.

 

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

HTML5 is a suite of specifications for building web sites that are connected or disconnected. ASP.Net MVC is a web site framework that allows for rich semantic markup and deep integration with client-side architectures. ASP.NET MVC allows objects called Controllers to serve data quickly and easily to HTML5 apps running in any browser.
