Pro HTML5 Programming(HTML5高级程序设计英文原版)

Book Description HTML5 is here, and with it, rich Internet applications (RIAs) take on a power, ease, scalability, and responsiveness that neither Ajax nor Comet could ever achieve. With this book, developers will learn how to use the latest cutting-edge web technology—available in the most recent versions of modern browsers—to build real-time web applications with unparalleled functionality, speed, and responsiveness. The HTML5 specification represents the next evolution—or rather, a revolution—of web communications required to build real-time applications. WebSockets and server-sent events provide not only a standard against which real-time web applications can be built, but also a socket, native to the browser, that facilitates network programming from the browser with efficient bidirectional (full-duplex) communication over a single connection. * Explains how you can create real-time HTML5 applications that tap the full potential of modern browsers * Provides practical, real-world examples of HTML5 features in action * Shows which HTML5 features are supported in current browsers and platforms What you’ll learn * How the HTML5 specification has evolved * How to design, develop, and run cutting-edge real-time web applications using new HTML5 features like WebSockets, server-sent events, cross-document messaging, geo location, storage, canvas, and video * Which features are available in browsers today and how you can run your applications in older browsers that do not support HTML5 features * How to use client-side APIs to communicate directly with back-end systems such as messaging systems, JMS brokers, XMPP servers, and online services such as Google Wave Who is this book for? This book is for developers who want to use the latest cutting-edge technology available in current browsers; developers who want to create dynamic, data-driven web applications; and developers who want to know which HTML5 features are supported in current browsers.
