brossura HTML5 è un insieme di nuovi standard per il web, sempre in evoluzione, che consente di sviluppare applicazioni web moderne. Porta con sé diverse novità, che vanno verso l'adozione di una serie di specifiche, condivise da browser e piattaforme tra loro diversi, che semplificano la vita degli sviluppatori web, sempre alle prese con le difficoltà legate ai vari browser. In realtà, HTML5 è molto di più e include una serie di nuove caratteristiche, che abbracciano anche CSS e JavaScript e impattano sul mobile, una fetta sempre importante della navigazione mondiale: districarsi tra le nuove specifiche può non essere un'impresa semplice. Con uno stile chiaro, pratico e ricco di esempi, la nuova edizione di questo libro si pone come una guida ideale, sia per principianti sia per chi vuole conoscere le novità di HTML5 e delle tecnologie correlate.
br. JavaScript è da più di 15 anni il più diffuso linguaggio di programmazione del Web. Questa guida, pratica ma densa di informazioni, è un distillato di tutti i comandi da utilizzare. Quindi è una guida pocket ottima per il programmatore, da tenere sempre a portata di mano per i riferimenti rapidi, ma non solo: ogni capitolo dispone anche di approfondimenti sulle tecniche da utilizzare. I primi nove capitoli documentano l'ultima versione del "cuore" di JavaScript (ECMAScript 5), trattando: Tipi, valori e variabili; Operatori, espressioni e istruzioni; Oggetti e array; Funzioni e classi. I cinque capitoli successivi documentano le API fondamentali per usare JavaScript con HTML5 e spiegano come: Interagire con le finestre del browser; Costruire script per documenti HTML e per elementi dei documenti; Modificare e applicare stili e classi CSS; Rispondere agli eventi di input dell'utente; Dialogare con i server web; Conservare i dati localmente sul computer dell'utente
br. JavaScript è il linguaggio per la programmazione Web lato client più apprezzato. Standardizzato grazie a ECMA, oggi permette di creare codice compatibile con la maggior parte dei browser in circolazione. Grazie anche alle migliorate capacità dei processori dei PC, l'esecuzione di Java- Script è diventata sempre più veloce e questo ha permesso di ampliare il suo campo di utilizzo. Il libro si focalizza sull'applicazione di JavaScript nel campo del Web e si basa su ECMAScript 6, la versione di JavaScript attualmente più diffusa.
