Wrinklefree jQuery and HTML5:

A cutthroat guide to advancing your jQuery and general JavaScript skills, while learning how to use cutting edge HTML5 APIs.

HTML5 APIs are quickly becoming common packages in browsers. As new browser technologies are distributed, the arsenal of tools available to web developers grows. HTML5 involves a host of new features available to JavaScript developers. It helps in creating more engaging, performant, and scalable web applications.

Wrinklefree jQuery and HTML5 is a practical, example-driven tutorial that aims to provide a clear pattern for developing JavaScript applications that handle new media and resource-intensive features such as streaming video, webcams and microphones, and accessing filesystems right from the browser.

This book starts with discussing HTML5 features, and then builds a common knowledge of new browser technologies, weaving the practice of using those libraries with the practice of writing jQuery plugins.

I have worked really hard over the past year to make this a great resource for acquiring knowledge of concepts falling under "HTML5" and others surrounding jQuery, in a step-wise fashion. Beginners with jQuery should be able to pick up this book and learn a ton. Advanced users will find themselves still learning all the trinkets and gizmos available, as there are some very advanced jQuery and HTML5 concepts involved in this book that many contractors earn USD $150k+ / year for specializing in them. After you've made it through the book, you'll be comfortable writing your own jQuery plugins and using HTML5 APIs to create unique and memorable user experiences.

All the chapter code is included and provided online, so that readers can follow along, or even use the code for whatever they want. (I believe in providing this code with a "Do Whatever the Fuck You Want License").

Don't Forget! You will get:

- An unending source of HTML5 and jQuery information; where chapters and example code will be constantly updated based on reviewer and reader feedback (that means YOU ARE IMPORTANT!)

- A professional contact/resource and a nice online friend -- @matthiasak :)

- Free (AS IN FREE) updates for the book, forever. This means all updates to this book and its code will be yours. I will even email you to let you know the changes and new content.

- My full attention. Because I am a writer representing himself, you get the opportunity to go through me, not a publisher. If you find something difficult to understand or have feedback for this book, hit me up and I will see what I can do to improve the book, its message, and its content.

This Book is Great for:

This book is great for developers who are a little familiar with jQuery, and are ready to graduate to writing their own plugins and architecting immersive web applications. It's assumed that you will have some experience with HTML and jQuery already, and be familiar with jQuery selectors, events, and utility functions. Knowledge of HTML5 APIs is not required, as many HTML5 features will be taught from the ground up.

Feedback:

If you are reading this and you haven't found the value proposition of this back enough to support the hundreds of hours I have already poured into this book, I would love to know why.

- Did this book not help you learn anything new?

- Does it not cover something you wanted to know?

Whatever it may be, drop me a line on the feedback page or tweet me @matthiasak!
