sonal Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I read the first chapter of the book in one sitting. It was a easy reading, as if I was reading a nice story. Still I got the main points about those important DOCTYPE and impressive HTML5 right into my head. I was not giving any thought so far about HTML tags and DOCTYPE since now, but now I know them right. That's what I like about Larry's writing. Thank you, Larry. And one more thing, so far I have been able to keep the glossy, red book away from my toddler Son. The book looks so impressive and expensive! It's a good read...

HartleySan Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Hehe. I know what you mean about trying to keep nice books away from your kid. I have a 2.5-year-old daughter myself. Also, yeah, HTML5 is getting bigger and bigger all the time, and JavaScript is playing a pivotal role in that. While I'm not done with the book yet, I kinda wish Larry had gone into more detail about the recent developments in HTML5, since they're so related to JS.

Larry Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Thanks for the nice words, Sonal. I keep forgetting to promote that it's a full color book, my first. That explains the higher price. HarleySan, I had planned on doing a chapter on HTML5 but I ran out of space. And HTML5, while closely tied to JS, is still somewhat fringe, meaning that I couldn't remove other, more necessary content, to put it in there. That and the fact that the chapter could be quickly outdated. Maybe I'll do more JS+HTML5 through the blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartleySan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, I can understand you not wanting to repeat what happened with the 3rd edition of your PHP/MySQL book and PHP 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
