DESCRIPTION
The next big technology for .NET developers is...HTML. Microsoft has taken clear steps toward making its web and mobile offerings, and Windows itself, work seamlessly with HTML5. Most tools available in the .Net development stack are already HTML5 compliant, and Microsoft has embraced community offerings like jQuery as first-class citizens for UI development.
HTML5 for .NET Developers teaches professional software engineers how to integrate the latest HTML5 APIs and semantic markup into rich web applications using JavaScript, ASP.NET MVC, and WCF. Written from the .NET perspective, this book is full of practical applications and ways to connect the new web standards with your existing development practices. You'll learn how to use JavaScript and jQuery for client-side application development, and take advantage of the numerous APIs available in modern browsers. You'll also discover how to implement business rules and pass data between client and server using JSON-enabled web services.

- A complete introduction to HTML5 from a .NET viewpoint
- Gracefully managing browser compatibility
- Techniques for rich internet applications
- Bridging web and Windows development
