Ebook: Introduction to Web Development Using HTML 5

Filled with thousands of real-world examples, this text: introduces Web development to first-time developers; covers all aspects of webpage design; provides detailed coverage of webpage formatting using CSS; presents the use of JavaScript and JQuery to automate webpages; presents the HTML 5 canvas that developers can use to display charts, graphs, and more within a page; covers drag-and-drop processing; introduces location-aware applications; and teaches users how to use asynchronous programming to achieve multitasking within a webpage. HTML 5 allows Web developers not only to build pages for the World Wide Web, but also to build pages for mobile devices and tablet PCs. The book starts with an introduction to standard HTML and its use in creating traditional websites. Within this context, it then teaches developers how to format and style their pages using cascading style sheets (CSS) and how to automate pages using JavaScript and JQuery. --
