false 481921 1 Microformats burst onto the scene a couple of years ago and are fast becoming an essential tool for all professional web designers and developers. Imagine being able to integrate all of your web-based contact details, tagged articles, and geographical information seamlessly in web and desktop applications, without having to add anything extra to your websites except a little specialized HTML markup. Microformats provide a more formalized technology for adding commonly used semantics (such as contact details, location, and reviews) to today's Web. Unlike XML or the semantic Web, microformats use ubiquitous technologies like HTML and XHTML, existing developer skills, and current web tools, and, perhaps most important, they work in all of today's web browsers. This book is a comprehensive guide to microformats. It explores why, in Bill Gates's words, "We need microformats"; how microformats work; and the kinds of problems microformats help solve. the book covers every current microformat, with complete details of the syntax, semantics, and uses of each, along with real-world examples and a comprehensive survey of the tools available for working with them. the book also features case studies detailing how major web content publishers such as yahoo put microformats to work in their web applications. Written by one of the Web's best-known educators, John Allsopp, Microformats: Empowering Your Markup for Web 2.0 will help you painlessly get up to speed with this exciting technology. <h3>In this book you'll learn</h3> <ul> <li>How to take best advantage of the built-in semantics of XHTML and HTML</li> <li>How to extend the semantics of HTML using microformats and open up a world of new possibilities with web applications</li> <li>Every aspect of all the common microformats currently in use</li> <li>How microformats help your websites and applications easily integrate with web applications like Google Maps, as well as desktop applications like iCal, outlook, and entourage</li> <li>What innovative publishers and services, big and small, are doing right now with microformats</li> </ul> <h3>Summary of Contents</h3> <ul> <li>PART ONE: INTRODUCING MICROFORMATS <ul> <li>Chapter 1: What Are Microformats?</li> <li>Chapter 2: The State of the Art in Microformats</li></ul></li> <li>PART TWO: USING MICROFORMATS <ul> <li>Chapter 3: Structural and Semantic HTML</li> <li>Chapter 4: Link-Based Microformats: rel-license, rel-tag rel-nofollow, and VoteLinks</li> <li>Chapter 5:Microformat to Describe Relationships Between People: XFN</li> <li>Chapter 6: Location Microformats: geo and adr</li> <li>Chapter 7: Contact Information Microformat: hCard</li> <li>Chapter 8: Event Microformat: hCalendar</li> <li>Chapter 9: Review and Resume Microformats: hReview and hResume</li> <li>Chapter 10: Syndicated Content Microformat: hAtom.</li> </ul> </li> <li>PART THREE: CASE STUDIES <ul> <li>Chapter 11: Case Study: Cork'd</li> <li>Chapter 12: Case Study: Yahoo</li></ul></li> <li>PART FOUR: DEVELOPING MICROFORMATS <ul><li>Chapter 13: The Process of Developing Microformats</li></ul></li> <li>PART FIVE: APPENDIXES <ul><li>Appendix A: Microformat Specification Reference</li> <li>Appendix B: Microformat Design Patterns</li> <li>Appendix C: People, Tools, Services, and Publishers</li></ul></li></ul> 470280 26 3 2007 Microformats: Empowering Your Markup for Web 2.0 total:15|5:3|4:7|3:3|2:2| 15 56 44 4 2 0 false false Wed Sep 16 17:15:30 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 16 17:15:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Mar 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Jan 03 09:34:59 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 16 10:11:37 -0800 2009 2 0 false false Sat Sep 15 14:08:31 -0700 2007 Sat Sep 15 14:11:39 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Wed Oct 31 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Sep 09 09:46:33 -0700 2007 Fri Mar 28 05:04:33 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Oct 27 14:36:23 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 14:36:23 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Aug 15 00:34:46 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 21 08:27:45 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 14 23:45:05 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 14 23:45:05 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jun 29 11:40:25 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 29 11:40:25 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 02 03:27:56 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 02 03:27:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 22 11:14:46 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 22 11:14:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Apr 17 20:43:56 -0700 2009 Fri Apr 17 20:44:07 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Mar 26 15:18:52 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 26 15:18:52 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Mon Mar 02 13:41:38 -0800 2009 Mon Mar 02 13:41:38 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 29 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 01:07:39 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 01:08:08 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jan 22 03:25:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 22 03:25:02 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jan 18 10:45:40 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 18 10:45:40 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Tue Jan 13 06:53:37 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 06:53:39 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Dec 04 08:06:06 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 04 08:06:07 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 10 10:59:50 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 15:08:20 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Nov 05 01:29:54 -0800 2008 Wed Nov 05 01:29:54 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=481921
