HTML5 for Publishers

HTML5 is revolutionizing the Web, and now it’s coming to your ebook reader! With the release of the EPUB 3 specification, HTML5 support will officially be a part of the EPUB standard, and publishers will be able to take full advantage of HTML5’s rich feature set to add rich media and interactivity to their ebook content.

HTML5 for Publishers gives an overview of some of the most exciting features HTML5 provides to ebook content creators–audio/video, geolocation, and the Canvas–and shows how to put them in action. Learn how to:

• Intersperse audio/video with textual content
• Create a graphing calculator to display algebraic equations on the Canvas
• Use geolocation to customize a work of fiction with details from the reader’s locale
• Use Canvas to add interactivity to a children’s picture book
