About the Author

Peter Lubbers is the director of documentation and training at Kaazing Corporation and the co-founder of the San Francisco HTML5 User Group. Peter also teaches HTML5 training courses all over the world. Prior to joining Kaazing, Peter worked as an information architect at Oracle, where he wrote many books, including the award-winning Oracle Application Server Portal Configuration Guide. At Oracle, Peter also developed documentation automation solutions, and two of his inventions are patented. A native of the Netherlands, Peter served as a Special Forces commando in the Royal Dutch Green Berets. Peter lives on the edge of the Tahoe National Forest and in his spare time, he loves to run ultra marathons in the Sierra Nevada foothills and around Lake Tahoe (preferably in one go!).

Brian Albers is the vice president of development at Kaazing Corporation. Brian has more than 13 years of experience in the field of user interface technologies. Prior to joining Kaazing, Brian worked as senior development manager at Oracle, where he led the planning and design of the next generation of Oracle's user interface technology—an effort publicly known as ADF Faces. During his 10-year tenure at Oracle, Brian worked primarily on mixing cutting-edge technology with large enterprise demands (internationalization, accessibility, scalability). He proposed the open source donation of ADF Faces, which ultimately became the Apache MyFaces Trinidad project. Brian also led a cross-team effort to develop a DHTML-rich client and a mobile client presentation layer for Oracle's Project Fusion. Brian holds two bachelor's degrees from the University of Texas at Austin: one in computer science and another in Plan II Honors.

Frank Salim is one of the original engineers at Kaazing who helped craft the WebSocket gateway and client strategy. Frank is a San Diego native currently residing in Mountain View, California. He holds a degree in computer science from Pomona College. When he is not programming, Frank enjoys reading, painting, and inline skating. In 2010, Frank co-authored "Pro HTML5 Programming" (Apress).

A great HTML5 starting point December 4, 2010
Format:Paperback
Web development is a rapidly changing area--especially with HTML5. The authors of this book are commendable for their efforts on this cutting-edge topic. I learned a lot on many topics by using this book including:

--New and deprecated HTML elements
--window.JSON
--HTML5 Canvas
--Video containers
--Geolocation API
--WebSocket API
--Web Workers and Web Storage API

This book opens up a lot of new possibilities for web development on the client side. By reading and using the examples offered in the book, it helps me to think different projects can be beneficial by using HTML5. As with any emerging new technology, HTML5 is still changing and evolving. This book is a great starting point.

This book does not have examples on how to build an end to end application using HTML5. Rather, this book focus on some new features of HTML5.

Format:Paperback
I was looking for a nice succinct and easy/fast read to cover some of the interactive features for rich internet user interface design using HTML5. In particular, in my role as an architect, I'm not really concerned with page layout considerations - but wider architectural concerns such as the background worker thread and socket communication APIs. Thus, for my needs - this book was a very helpful fast read that met my requirements.

Note: This book is not an introduction to HTML5 (or an introduction to HTML). It is not a comprehensive reference bible for all things HTML. The subtitle of the book clearly indicates: "APIs for Richer Internet Application Development". On that score, I believe it delivers.

Peter Lubbers, Brian Albers, Ric Smith, and Frank Salim put together and excellent resource for powerful yet practical HTML5 code that can be used NOW. The book refutes the myth that HTML5 will not be usable until 2022 by going on and showing you how to use it today! By leveraging API's that have common browser support the effort is not purely academic. Although the code is targeted for a more advanced audience, an adept user will be able to glean plenty of information from the examples. The book answered many questions I had about the emerging HTML5 standards, and gave me some new techniques to implement. I recommend this book for anyone experienced with HTML who wants to start using HTML5 now.
