Advance Praise for Head First HTML5 Programming
“HTML5 is the “future of the web”. How many times have you heard that? If you really want to understand the
family of technologies that make up HTML5, read this book! Head First HTML5 Programming is the definitive book on
HTML5 for everyone from beginners to experienced developers.”
— Aaron LaBerge, CEO, Fanzter Inc.
“This book is a rollicking ride through the wild new territory of HTML5, where we are all bound to be battling
scorpions for years. It takes you through basic concepts so you understand the purposes of the HTML5 design, and
then into each area so you know your way around. Like all Head First books, it replaces dry recitation with lively,
memorable, fact-laden bursts of information. I will always have the formal HTML5 spec web site for reference
purposes, but I’d rather *learn* it lively.”
— Ken Arnold, Design/Build Hub, Peak Impact, Inc.
