Up to this point in the book, we have covered many of the new and exciting aspects of web development with HTML5. However, during this time we have only ever looked at each feature as an individual aspect rather than a piece of a larger project. When it comes to building applications for the real world, you will inevitably have to begin merging these new features together to build the appropriate feature set within your app. In this chapter, we will build a playable game using some of the new and old features available to you as a web developer. Beginning with a version built-in Flash, we will then build a direct port of the application into HTML5 and discuss the differences and issues you may encounter while dealing with assets and functionality that you have become used to in the ActionScript and Flash world of development.

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.
