Product Description
Product Description
One of the most exciting and talked about aspects of the HTML5 specification is the introduction of in-browser multimedia. Websites no longer have to rely on a third-party tool such as Flash or Silverlight to play video and audio. This book is an easy, approachable guide to building native HTML5 multimedia into a website, from the simplest addition to more advanced features. It's written in a simple, straightforward style that's not too techy, yet advanced enough for the more experienced coder who just needs to get up to speed on these powerful new capabilities. The book's companion website provides all the examples in a working format for easy access and enhanced visualization for the reader.
Topics include:
- Using Audio: How to add audio to web documents using the HTML5 audio element.
- Using Video: How to add video to web documents using the HTML5 video element.
- JavaScript API and Custom Controls: How to use the HTML5 Media JavaScript API to create custom controls for HTML5 audio and video.
- Styling Media Elements with CSS: Shows how HTML5 media elements can be styled with CSS2.1 and CSS3.
- Using Video with SVG: Shows how SVG and HTML5 video can work together.
- Using Video with Canvas: Introduces the HTML5 canvas element and shows how HTML5 video and canvas can work together.

Best out there on the subject.
28 Feb 2012
Format:Paperback
I've written regularly about HTML5 for the last few years, but there's stuff in Ian's book I didn't know. It's meticulous and logical and builds a good momentum taking the reader along a well-pitched learning curve.
Ian's well-aware that, although he's showing some state-of-the-art stuff, not every user of your sites will be using the latest greatest browsers, so constantly reminds you - and shows you how - to be a responsible developer and serve your customers, not your ego.
JavaScript is my weakest point, so I found the scripts particularly well-explained.
If you're doing some work with HTML5 audio or video, you'll be wise to get this book.

HTML5 Multimedia does an amazing job of giving you everything you need to take advantage of the new media APIs of HTML5. It's an easy read with good examples and even includes a section about the history on HTML and how we got to HTML5 for people who are just getting started.
