HTML5's new features have made it a real application development platform with widespread adoption throughout the industry for this purpose. Being able to create one application that can run on virtually any device from phone to desktop has made it the first choice among developers. Although JavaScript has been around for a while now, it wasn't until the introduction of HTML5 that we have been able to create dynamic, feature-rich applications rivaling those written for the desktop. HTML5 Web Application Development By Example will give you the knowledge you need to build rich, interactive web applications from the ground up, incorporating the most popular HTML5 and CSS3 features available right now. This book is full of tips, tools, and example applications that will get you started writing your own applications today. HTML5 Web Application Development By Example shows you how to write web applications using the most popular HTML5 and CSS3 features. This book is a practical, hands-on guide with numerous real-world and relevant examples. You will learn how to use local storage to save an application's state and incorporate CSS3 to make it look great. You will also learn how to use custom data attributes to implement data binding. We'll use the new Canvas API to create a drawing application, then use the Audio API to create a virtual piano, before turning it all into a game. The time to start using HTML5 is now. And HTML5 Web Application Development by Example will give you the tips and know-how to get started.

I have seen a few other books on this topic, but this one starts from the very basics and takes the reader through some of the very advanced concepts.The first three chapters work on improving the user-experience and the feature set of a 'to-do' list. The author's style of explanation is quite lucid and easily understandable.The next two chapters throw light on HTML5 Canvas, showing a glimpse of the power that the Canvas holds.Chapters 6 and 7 show the HTML5 Audio element. At then end of these chapters, you will have become a piano-man!Chapter 8 talks about making server calls using jQuery Ajax. This chapter could have been a bit more elaborate with code samples for making post and delete calls on the server (although the challenge there is to have a server-side component for the application).The information provided regarding Web Workers is also very nice.The highlights of the book are:* The piano game in chapter 7* The photo pad app in chapter 5* The working details of Web Worker in chapter 9All-in-all, if you're new to the subject and want to learn a good deal on this topic, this is a good book.

Are you looking for a book to know more about HTML5? Do you get bored reading tons of theory and not many "hand on lab"?Then don't search more and read this book.It teach you what HTML5 brings driven by examples. You'll find out how to build classical 'todo list' from scratch, following an incremental development to enhance it with more and more features and also making it beautiful with the new CSS3 properties.But it isn't all, you will be instructed with the HTML5 canvas and APIs (File, Audio, ...) and how to make it available offline, so it allows you to craft web applications close to desktop ones.

This book really had me thinking about HTML5 in a whole new way. First I respect any coder who uses UML or Flowcharts to delegate the thinking process involved in organized code. I really like the Pop Quiz exercises to test my new found knowledge, the applications in the book are usable and not very difficult to follow.Having knowledge of JavaScript(jQuery), HTML, and CSS will help you with HTML5.A few things to mention:I really liked the photo manipulation, black and white, sepia, etc.The basic drawing application is really great, it shows you how things work and what you can expect.Canvas is really powerful, it's not limited to what this book shows it's uses. You can use it to make HTML5 Games!Don't skip anything and start from page 1, the author builds on the knowledge you learn from the start. Excellent book at a reasonable price to get you started.[...]

Ordered this because it's advertised for beginners. It's not. You have to have a strong foundation in HTML and CSS to jump into this book.
