Synopsis
HTML5 A Beginners Guide, 5th Edition is a pedagogically rich introduction to the markup language used for structuring, designing, and formatting web pages. It is appropriate for self-study and classroom use. The book is being completely updated in its fifth edition to cover the latest enhancements in HTML5, more efficient coding techniques using CSS (cascading stylesheets), how to go beyond the basics to create dynamic content with JavaScript, and the latest browsers, including IE8. HTML standards were last updated with HTML 4 in 1997. Although HTML5 specifications are still finalizing, over 50% of Web users already support the developing new standards. HTML5 introduces a number of new syntactical features, which will be covered in the fifth edition, including video and audio elements and new APIs, and offers a powerful alternative for cross-platform development on mobile platforms.
