Core HTML5 Canvas: Graphics, Animation, and Game Development
One of HTML5’s most exciting features, Canvas provides a powerful 2D graphics API that lets you implement everything from word processors to video games. In Core HTML5 Canvas: Graphics, Animation, and Game Development, best-selling author David Geary presents a code-fueled, no-nonsense deep dive into that API, covering everything you need to know to implement rich and consistent web applications that run on a wide variety of operating systems and devices.
Core HTML5 Canvas: Graphics, Animation, and Game Development
Succinctly and clearly written, this book examines dozens of real-world uses of the Canvas API, such as interactively drawing and manipulating shapes, saving and restoring the drawing surface to temporarily draw shapes and text, and implementing text controls. You’ll see how to keep your applications responsive with web workers when you filter images, how to implement smooth animations, and how to create layered, 3D scrolling backgrounds with parallax. In addition, you’ll see how to implement video games with extensive coverage of sprites, physics, collision detection, and the implementation of a game engine and an industrial-strength pinball game. The book concludes by showing you how to implement Canvas-based controls that you can use in any HTML5 application and how to use Canvas on mobile devices, including iOS5. Download eBook Free »

This is a book for web designers, web developers, and front-end coders who want to get up to speed with the why and why not of HTML5 in 2012.

This is the book that isn’t afraid to point out what everyone gets wrong about HTML5’s new markup, so you don’t make the same mistakes. This is the book that will show you what rocks in HTML5 today and what the future holds for interactivity and video now Flash is dying. This is the book that doesn’t think marking up a basic web page should be a quasi-religious exercise where the high priests of HTML5 must be consulted for their interpretation of the holy texts (the HTML5 spec).
Rather than simply looking at the what and how of HTML5 (though it does that), The Truth About HTML5 (For Web Designers) endeavors to explain the why and why not of HTML5. And it’s a passionate, informed, opinionated critique of much of HTML5 to boot. You’ll learn to think critically about HTML5 as a tool, and adopt the good parts, for good reasons, and ignore the less than useful parts, for the right reasons as well. Download eBook Free »
