Head First HTML5 Programming Promo Video
Luckily for us, we have a friend who is a producer/director and who made this amazing promo video for our new book, Head First HTML5 Programming, now available on Amazon.com and from our publisher, O’Reilly Media (where you can by the print and eBook together if you want).
I’m really pleased with how it came out. And, I’m hoping that our O’Reilly PR person will be able to get the video on Amazon.

Head First HTML5
I am writing a new book, Head First HTML5, with my co-author, Eric Freeman. HTML5 is a major new version of HTML that includes new elements, as well as JavaScript APIs, which allow you to program many of the new elements, such as video and canvas, that are now part of the language. This is new for HTML; in previous versions, JavaScript APIs have not been part of the HTML specification. I see this as a positive step: it will provide a standard for browser-makers to implement and hopefully keep the differences among browsers to a minimum (fewer browser headaches for developers!).
Head First HTML5 is written for people who already know HTML and CSS and want to learn the new technologies that have been added to HTML. We’re focusing almost entirely on the JavaScript APIs and the new elements that require JavaScript: canvas, video and audio, localStorage, geoLocation, and so on. You’ll need to get your feet wet with JavaScript if you don’t already know it, and we’ll help get you there in Chapter 2 with an introduction to JavaScript.
You’ll find lots more information about Head First and my books at WickedlySmart.com (to be launched in about a month). And look for this book later this year, in fall of 2011.
