HTML5 in Action

HTML5 is one of the hottest topics in the Web development community and it's unlikely to change any time soon. Developers are keen on using a cross-platform method of development, and HTML5 fits the bill perfectly. Along with supporting technologies like CSS3, SVG, and JavaScript, it gives web developers powerful new features like local storage, better audio and video support, and standards-driven mobile application development.

HTML5 in Action is a practical hands-on guide that provides a complete introduction to web development using HTML5. It provides thorough coverage of the various new features included in HTML5, from web forms and offline applications to 2D Canvas. The easy-to-follow examples ensure that readers can start using these features in their own applications on day one.
