What our readers are saying
Most underrated web development book of the 21st century
"Awesome book, taught me the beggining steps of web development to a point where I feel very comfortable with front end topics. I emailed the author once for an error in the resources on his site and he fixed it within a few hours. I recommend this book."
Best web programming book I've come across.
"Before I bought this book, I had an understanding of HTML, CSS, Javascript, JQuery and Ajax, but didn't have a lot of practical experience. This book takes a chapter to discuss an API over each of ~25 chapters, far improved over the first edition of this book which had fewer chapters. Some of these APIs (Drag 'n Drop comes to mind off bat), can be accomplished more easily with JQuery, while the chapter in this book focused more on Javascript...something to keep in mind. Other chapters, like using HTML5 databasing or 2D or 3D canvasing were golden, even though I am currently using app engine for databases...it is good to know what options exist. For someone with no formal training, this book is a great eye-opener to web programming's possibilities."
Just brilliant
"I bought this book just to improve my understanding of how web works, not having yet practiced many examples just a quick daily 15 minute read and was amazed by concise and clear descriptions of various aspects of modern web technologies and their development, In Fact Javascript is not a scripting language anymore and I could figure that many personal and commercial use applications can be built just using available web technologies explained in the book. Many Thanks to Author for writing this book."
Very good
"Really good book for reference. And it's not just HTML, but a lot of in-depth stuff about new CSS stuff and JS. Picked up a lot from this."
Good introduction to HTML5 and associated technologies
"I've enjoyed this book. I've wanted to get back into these technologies. I'm only about 60% of the way through, but it's at just the right level for me. I've been doing HTML for nearly 20 years (really!) but management happened ;-) and I really didn't do much technically as HTML became much more complex and dynamic. While I'd coded in Javascript for small things, again, I didn't do the deep dive. I could spell CSS but that's it. I found this book to be very sensible in the level of detail, clarity of examples and general presentation. I'm up through the chapters on 3D graphics now, and am looking forward to finishing the book."
Brilliant for going through the new features and integration
"The book is well written for anyone who has some knowledge of using html,css and javascript and shows just how well they now operate together. My reference chapters are the Canvas,WebStorage,Offline API and Web Workers. Examples are easy to follow and change around to do what you want , very good book overall."
Using the Kindle Edition
"This is the first book I downloaded for use on my mobile phone and iPad. I love having this ebook with me when I need it. The content is great and very useful."
