Using JavaScript to Build HTML 5 apps

Jonathan Carter

HTML 5 is the convergent technology for the web, but JavaScript is a necessary evil.  Perforamance and browser support is getting better,  Great community support, but quite an esoteric language.  Strict Mode (IE 10+) to the rescue.  If you use strict mode, backwards compatibility is broken, and it points out where things are bad.

Suggests that we try out our approaches using jsfiddle.net  Check out book “JavaScript – The Good Parts”.  Usings examples for audio, windows.localStorage, and windows.sessionStorage, geolocations.

Idiom:  Prettier software (no matter how klunky or riddled with Indian bugs) are perceived as being better.  Examples of using canvas.
