Overview of this book

As the support for HTML5 within modern web browsers grows, the appeal of HTML5 development, especially for Flash developers, is at an all-time high. From 3D interactive multi-user content to high definition video streaming, HTML5 can deliver it all, to almost all modern web browsers, desktops, and mobile platforms. HTML5 for Flash Developers is a practical, targeted guide for developers with previous experience in developing applications in Flash who would like to add HTML5 development to their skill set. By understanding key aspects that make HTML5 development different from Flash you will be able to integrate your current skill set into the HTML5 development paradigm. Starting with identifying the key technologies that make up the HTML5 development stack and how they are utilized to create HTML5 content, HTML5 for Flash Developers will cover the traditional HTML5 application development flow chapter by chapter, while covering many other common tools that are regularly used in HTML5 today.In addition to understanding and writing dependency-free HTML5 code, you will also learn how to build your HTML5 applications on top of popular libraries and frameworks such as jQuery and CreateJS. This book covers how to prepare all of your content and media for integration into your HTML5 application using applications such as the Miro Video Converter or Adobe Photoshop. You will learn ways to not only continue to use Adobe Flash in your HTML5 application content preparation flow, but also how to port your existing Flash content right over to HTML5.Once you understand what it takes to build HTML5 content, you will finish up by learning how to debug, optimize, and prepare your content for release on the Web.

With the advent of JavaScript compilers, some pretty unimaginable things can be done by just writing some JavaScript code. Just like the methods you were used to in Flash, where ActionScript is compiled into binary packages, JavaScript compilers convert pure JavaScript into machine code, which can be run on a computer just like any other application. As far out as a concept this may seem, there are actually many great reasons for it and the best being for use in the Web browser.

Google's V8 Engine

In late 2008, Google released the initial version of Chrome and with it came the initial release of the V8 engine as well. V8 compiles JavaScript directly to native machine code and even optimizes the code when doing so. The result is applications that can run just like applications that are written in Python or C++. V8 is written in C++ and has been open...
