What can HTML5 do for you? If you're a web developer looking to use this new version of HTML, you might be wondering how much has really changed. Head First HTML5 Programming introduces the key features -- including improved text elements, audio and video tags, geolocation, and the Canvas drawing surface -- and uses concrete examples and exercises to apply and reinforce these concepts. You'll learn how HTML5, Javascript, and CSS3 will help create fast, interactive sites with fewer plugins. * Get the low-down on changes to the basic HTML markup * Explore CSS3, and discover how it compliments HTML5 * Understand JavaScript's relationship to HTML5 * Learn HTML5's new font, multicolumn, and text capabilities * Bring out your inner artist with Canvas * Use the technology to add audio and video * Take advantage of local storage and databases * Learn how HTML5 deals with geolocation, multitouch, and more We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, Head First HTML5 Programming uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

HTML has been on a wild ride. Sure, HTML started as a mere markup language, but more recently HTML's put on some major muscle. Now we've got a language tuned for building web applications with Web storage, 2D drawing, offline support, sockets and threads, and more. And to speak this language you've got to go beyond HTML5 markup and into the world of the DOM, events, and JavaScript APIs.
Now you probably already know all about HTML markup (otherwise known as structure) and you know all aboutCSS style (presentation), but what you've been missing is JavaScript (behavior). If all you know about are structure and presentation, you can create some great looking pages, but they're still just pages. When you add behavior with JavaScript, you can create an interactive experience; even better, you can create full blown web applications.
Head First HTML5 Programming is your ultimate tour guide to creating web applications with HTML5 and JavaScript, and we give you everything you need to know to build them, including: how to add interactivity to your pages, how to communicate with the world of Web services, and how to use the great new APIs being developed for HTML5.
Here are just some of the things you'll learn in Head First HTML5 Programing:
- Learn how to make your pages truly interactive by using the power of the DOM.
- Finally understand how JavaScript works and take yourself from novice to well-informed in just a few chapters.
- Learn how JavaScript APIs fit into the HTML5 ecosystem, and how to use any API in your web pages.
- Use the Geolocation API to know where your users are.
- Bring out your inner artist with Canvas, HTML5's new 2D drawing surface.
- Go beyond just plugging a video into your pages, and create custom video experiences.
- Learn the secret to grabbing five megabytes of storage in every user's browser.
- Improve your page's responsiveness and performance with Web workers.
- And much more.

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
