Web development techniques are rapidly changing to adapt to new
advancements in technologies each day. To keep up with these changes,
developers need to be able to create websites with brilliant
visualizations. HTML5 makes it possible to build interactive
visualizations right in the web browser, written in JavaScript. It
provides an integrated approach to speed up the process of creating live
visualizations. The birth of CSS3 brings with it many updates that make
designing in HTML easier and more stunning.
Web Visualization with HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript is a comprehensive
video course that covers everything you need to know about the
cutting-edge techniques introduced in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript.
The course starts off by getting you up to date with the most recent
advancements in CSS3 visualization techniques. From there you’ll keep
building your knowledge base by shifting your focus to animating and
transforming elements without JavaScript using CSS. Moving ahead, you’ll
discover how to draw in SVG and animate these elements without the use
of JavaScript. Then, we’ll change gears to cover bitmap/raster art as
you learn to draw in HTML5 Canvas and how to animate the drawn elements.
We’ll wind up the course with a foray into animation libraries and pure
JavaScript animations.
By the end of the course, you will be fully armed to create stunning web visualizations to integrate it into your workflow.
