Learn to use today's top tools

and create cross-platform

applications for all devices!

Get the inside track on creating cool applications that work on almost any browser and device! Here's how to use HTML5 and JavaScript to bring your ideas to life, with all examples tested on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux. Learn to "speak" JavaScript, use libraries and templates, and take advantage of every trick that smart developers use to make life easier.

  • Meet the players — discover what JavaScript is, how it works, and how JavaScript and HTML5 complement each other
  • Everything's an object — understand the objects and variables used by JavaScript and learn to use standard objects
  • Essential functions — organize tasks, perform them, and manage repetitive tasks with JavaScript functions
  • You and your user — make your application interactive using the Document Object Model, handle events, and build enhanced HTML5 forms
  • The next step — create even more robust applications by extending JavaScript with XML and AJAX

Open the book and find:

  • Why JavaScript is not Java's cousin
  • Information about web hosting
  • Tips on working with text and arrays
  • The standard JavaScript objects
  • How JavaScript makes decisions
  • Ways to handle errors
  • Reasons for using CSS with your applications
  • How iQuery and jQuery UI can make JavaScript easier

Synopsis:

What the book covers: The book is written for the user who knows some HTML5 and wants to learn how to make their pages more dynamic using JavaScript. It assumes no knowledge of JavaScript. It takes a novel approach. Instead of teaching JavaScript as a programming language, it teaches it as it was intended to be used - as a method of enhancing Web pages which also happens to use programming syntax. The emphasis throughout is on the practical with many short examples to illustrate the points under discussion. It takes the user right through from the more elementary use to the more complex uses in HTML5 and CSS3 enabling aspiring web developers to harness the power of HTML5. 

Synopsis:

Web designers and programmers, add JavaScript to your HTML5 development toolkit without fear

Modern websites are complex, and some of the most exciting features - things like geolocation, canvas, portability to mobile and more - require JavaScript to leverage what HTML5 can create. Don't know JavaScript? That's where HTML5 Programming with JavaScript For Dummies comes in. Rather than walking you through JavaScript as a programming language, it approaches JavaScript as a tool to help you enhance web pages.

  • Helps web designers and programmers tap the full power of HTML5 by leveraging JavaScript, even if they have no prior knowledge of JavaScript
  • Enables readers to produce modern websites with today's technology essentials: portability to mobile devices, animation, the use of Libraries, the Canvas component, and more
  • Emphasizes practical uses and offers many short examples for illustration

Discover basic to complex ways to use JavaScript programming syntax to harness the full power of HTML5 and CSS3.
