A programmer in San Francisco, Campesato provides a succinct guide to version five of hypertext markup language (HTML), which is used to create web pages. Readers should understand CSS2 and have a basic knowledge of HTML web pages and JavaScript. He assumes readers may not be native English speakers, so avoids colloquial expressions. Among his topics are HTML5 semantic markup, HTML5 Canvas, media and hardware support, browser-server communication, and HTML5 mobile applications on Android and IOS.
