HTML5: Up and Running: Dive into the Future of Web Development

This practical guide explains the new features in the fifth version of the markup language and why they will change the way websites are built. At the time of writing the specification was still evolving, yet several major browsers already supported much of it, and mobile browsers were further along. Chapters walk through the changes with plenty of hands-on examples, markup samples and screenshots. Readers learn to embed video without plug-ins, draw on a canvas with JavaScript, share location, store data locally beyond the limits of cookies, and build web applications that keep working offline. The book also covers new semantic elements, form input types and custom vocabularies created with microdata, making it a useful next step for working web developers.
