HTML 5. Basic Programming

HTML5 is a markup language used for structuring and presenting content for the World Wide Web and a core technology of the Internet. It is the fifth revision of the HTML standard (created in 1990 and standardized as HTML 4 as of 1997) and, as of December 2012, is a candidate recommendation of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). Its core aims have been to improve the language with support for the latest multimedia while keeping it easily readable by humans and consistently understood by computers and devices (web browsers, parsers, etc.). This book explains the first steps for the programming in HTML 5 by introducing the reader issues as treatment of text, lists, pictures, links, tables, colors, images, formats, special characters and other elements of HTML programming. This book is complemented by the same author texts entitled "HTML 5 Advanced Programming" and "CSS Styles".
