Synopsis

Fundamentals of SVG Programming: Concepts to Source Code is a comprehensive guide to the core concepts of SVG programming, including the coordinate systems, color gradients, grid patterns, Bezier curves, transforms, charts, graphs, and more. Written for those new to SVG, this book does an excellent job of "marrying" SVG to mathematics, showing how simple equations can be used to create and manipulate SVG graphics. It presents the information in "bite-size" pieces, teaching users how to create a plethora of standard graphics, and includes a CD-ROM with over 20,000 ready-to-use code samples derived from geometric objects. These samples can be implemented as is or customized for specific projects.
