HTML5's new features have made it a real application development platform with widespread adoption throughout the industry for this purpose. Being able to create one application that can run on virtually any device from phone to desktop has made it the first choice among developers. Although JavaScript has been around for a while now, it wasn't until the introduction of HTML5 that we have been able to create dynamic, feature-rich applications rivaling those written for the desktop. HTML5 Web Application Development By Example will give you the knowledge you need to build rich, interactive web applications from the ground up, incorporating the most popular HTML5 and CSS3 features available right now. This book is full of tips, tools, and example applications that will get you started writing your own applications today. HTML5 Web Application Development By Example shows you how to write web applications using the most popular HTML5 and CSS3 features. This book is a practical, hands-on guide with numerous real-world and relevant examples. You will learn how to use local storage to save an application's state and incorporate CSS3 to make it look great. You will also learn how to use custom data attributes to implement data binding. We'll use the new Canvas API to create a drawing application, then use the Audio API to create a virtual piano, before turning it all into a game. The time to start using HTML5 is now.

CSS3 overview

CSS3 is not part of the HTML5 specification, but it is an integral part of writing HTML5 applications.

Using these new graphics features will make your applications look modern and add character to your applications.

Some of the most exciting additions to CSS are the ability to add gradients and shadows to elements. Rounded corners, a feature that everyone wanted in their web pages, and which were once the realm of many HTML hacks, are now simple to add.
