HTML5 Multimedia: Develop and Design

by Ian Devlin

One of the most exciting and talked about aspects of the HTML5 specification is the introduction of in-browser multimedia. Websites no longer have to rely on a third-party tool such as Flash or Silverlight to play video and audio. This book is an easy, approachable guide to building native HTML5 multimedia into a website, from the simplest addition to more advanced features. It's written in a simple, straightforward style that's not too techy, yet advanced enough for the more experienced coder who just needs to get up to speed on these powerful new capabilities. The book's companion website provides all the examples in a working format for easy access and enhanced visualization for the reader.

[Ivo Stoykov]

This book covers more what JavaScript and CSS could do with audio and video rather than multimedia itself. Informative but scripting approach is quite usual and is well known and widely used without html 5.

Anyway if one knows almost nothing about html 5 multimedia capabilities will be informed generally.
