HTML5 and JavaScript Projects is fully updated as a second edition and covers important programming techniques and HTML, CSS, and JavaScript features to help you build projects with images, animation, video, audio and line drawings. You'll learn how to build games, quizzes and other interactive projects; incorporate the use of the Google Maps API and localStorage; and address the challenges of Responsive Design and Accessibility.Each project starts out with a description of the example's operation, often with full-color illustrations.  You'll then review the HTML5 and JavaScript concepts that relate to the project followed by a step-by-step explanation of the programming used. Tables are used to show the relationship of functions and provide comments for each line of code so that you can easily apply the techniques to your own HTML5 projects.​What You'll Learn Enhance your HTML5 and JavaScript programming skills.Poduce applications combining Canvas drawings, photos, and videos Incorporate Google Maps and geolocation into your projects Build applications requiring persistent data, storing the information locally or on a database on the serverWho This Book Is ForDevelopers who have some knowledge of programming and want to build more substantial applications by combining basic features and combining JavaScript with other technologies.

Programming permeates almost all aspects of our lives. This includes being active on social media, shopping online, and participating in virtual courses. It also includes driving a car and using many devices.  This book will teach you the basics of programming using the Processing programming language and provide practice with logical, algorithmic thinking.  It can provide insight into what is involved in producing the technical infrastructure of our world. While reading this book, you can build programs based on your own ideas, using images you create or acquire and making connections to activities you enjoy.The chapters in the book will demonstrate the process of programming, starting with formulating an idea, planning, building on past projects, and refining the work, similar to writing an essay or composing a song. This approach will guide you to make use of logic and mathematics to produce beautiful effects. The text contains an Appendix with an introduction to p5.js, a way to produce JavaScript programs with Processing functionality for drawing, images, and interactions to publish on the Web.The term for program in Processing is sketch. The Processing language has been constructed by visual artists using the Java programming language as a base.  However, the sketches featured in this book and typical in Processing are far more than static drawings; they incorporate interaction, animation, video, audio, and accessing files on the local computer and on the Web. Technical features are introduced and explained in the context of complete examples: games (Snake, Hangman, jigsaw, slingshot), making a collage of family images and video clips, preparing directions for folding an origami model, rotating objects in 3D, and others.Programming is a fun, creative, expressive pursuit. It does require attention to details and can be frustrating. Still, there is very little that comparesto the satisfaction of building a program out of nothing and making it work (or taking an existing program and fixing a problem, or adding a feature and making it better). Programming 101 is your gateway to making this happen.What You'll LearnGain basic programming skillsBuild fun and creative programsUse files for making a holiday card or a sequence of instructionsCombine videos, images, and graphics in a Processing sketchConnections to other programming languages, most especially Java and JavaScriptWho This Book Is ForAnyone who has been thinking about trying programming, or has tried, but needs assistance. Anyone who wants to use their own creativity and artistic talents. Anyone who wants to know what is involved in the technology that is present in our lives. Anyone who wants to know what is involved in the technology that is present in our lives.
