You'll build games and applications, such as video jigsaws,  recipe archives, paper dolls, and many more captivating examples.



Each project starts out with an introduction to the basic HTML5 and JavaScript concepts covered and then includes specific, appealing examples explained step-by-step. You'll also discover line-by-line explanations for every single line of code—we'll make sure that you can fully understand what each line of code does, so that you can easily take that understanding and apply it to your own HTML5 projects.
