Review # 1 was written on 2012-02-09 00:00:00 James Mccarrick An entertaining introduction to HTML5 with real-world examples. Bruce Lawson and Remy Sharp have a creatively funny writing style, and I laughed at many of their code samples. The book covers several topics: structure, text, forms, video and audio, canvas, data storage, offline, drag and drop, geolocation, and messages, workers, and sockets. I liked the chapters on structure, text, forms, and video and audio. The remaining sections were good for me to read about, but I won't likely be using them soon since I'm a web designer, not developer. I definitely didn't get as much out of this book as I would have if I knew more JavaScript. I'm currently learning JavaScript through Lynda.com. SitePoint recommended this book. I enjoyed it much more than Sams Teach Yourself HTML5 in 10 Minutes. Notes • Use Modernizr for backwards compatibility with older browsers. • The Internet Archive will convert and host audio and video for free.
