Pro HTML5 Programming (2e)

 

Chapter 2 is an introduction to the Canvas element. It isn't a particularly advanced explanation and only gets even slightly technical when it discuses working with pixel data.  The chapter finishes with a simple example. Overall this isn't hardly a "pro" look at Canvas in that it doesn't explain how you can make use of it in any clever or creative way - no modifying videos, no use of Canvas for custom controls etc.

The next chapter is new in this edition and covers SVG graphics at about the same level. After explaining how to use tags to create SVG images, the book suddenly switches to manipulating the DOM without much discussion. The final example is over-long and uses up too much space.

Chapter 4 is on audio and video and doesn't go anywhere that an introductory book wouldn't. The same is true of the Geolocation API covered in Chapter 5.

From here the book moves onto more technical topics - the communication APIs, the forms API, web workers, storage APIs, offline web applications and the future of HTML5. The other completely new chapter in this edition is Chapter 9 on drag-and-drop.
