The HTML5 Programmer's Reference aims to provide everything a
programmer needs for understanding and using the new HTML5 family of
standards. Previous HTML standards were focused on defining tags for
marking up documents. The HTML5 family of standards not only includes
new semantic tags but also defines exciting new JavaScript APIs that can
be used to build rich, interactive web applications for both mobile and
desktop platforms.
The HTML5 Programmer's Reference focuses on providing real-world
non-trivial examples to demonstrate concepts. Chapters include both
in-depth discussions and full references for all HTML5 features, as well
as extras like how to find the standards, the history of their
evolution, and other examples and helpful resources. With this book the
reader will learn everything they need to know to build the next
generation of web applications.
