MacDonald takes us through how to use HTML5 and more importantly, how it helps us write more effective webpages. Some of this information is already “out there” in the web community, but this book is thorough enough to contain several nuanced pearls. For instance, it covers HTML5 syntax and the canvas element particularly well.
Accompanying technologies JavaScript and CSS3 are addressed in detail in the main text. Appendices cover introductions to these topics, so the reader doesn’t need to worry if she/he is unfamiliar with either or both. MacDonald’s clear writing shows an uncanny ability to get readers up-to-speed on details of all of these languages, each with unique issues.
Even though seven years is an eternity in the world of tech, I found much of this text still relevant to me as a web developer. Of course, I wish the text could be updated to cover current browsers and breaking issues, but the underlying technology hasn’t changed that much in the recent past. This work can easily be helpful to software developers as well as IT project managers who want to know what’s technologically feasible. HTML5 is a lighter topic as far as software goes, and MacDonald’s writing style is very accessible. This combination makes the book accessible to a wider audience of those involved in software. (Aren’t most of us involved to some degree these days?)
Overall, this work can still empower readers to master the nuances of HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS3. Even after developing web software for decades, I still picked up several insights and inspirations for thought. If you read this text, I hope you do as well.… (mer)
