Abstract:
By teaching HTML5 by developing exciting games, the reader will see concrete applications for each of the concepts, and will also have a powerful deliverable at the end of each chapter - a fully functional game. We learn the various concepts using very abstract examples - how to model animals, foods, or fictitious machines. This makes learning and understanding a lot easier, and much more enjoyable.If you are are looking to get a good grounding in how to use the new awesome technology that is HTML5, this book is for you. Basic knowledge of HTML and/or HTML5 is welcome, but optional. The book is a friendly and exciting reference for beginners.
