HTML has been on a wild ride. Sure, HTML started as a mere markup language, but more recently HTML's put on some major muscle. Now we've got a language tuned for building web applications with Web storage, 2D drawing, offline support, sockets and threads, and more. And to speak this language you've got to go beyond HTML5 markup and into the world of the DOM, events, and JavaScript APIs.Now you probably already know all about HTML markup (otherwise known as structure) and you know all aboutCSS style (presentation), but what you've been missing is JavaScript (behavior). If all you know about are structure and presentation, you can create some great looking pages, but they're still just pages. When you add behavior with JavaScript, you can create an interactive experience; even better, you can create full blown web applications."Head First HTML5 Programming" is your ultimate tour guide to creating web applications with HTML5 and JavaScript, and we give you everything you need to know to build them, including: how to add interactivity to your pages, how to communicate with the world of Web services, and how to use the great new APIs being developed for HTML5.Here are just some of the things you'll learn in "Head First HTML5 Programing" Learn how to make your pages truly interactive by using the power of the DOM.Finally understand how JavaScript works and take yourself from novice to well-informed in just a few chapters.Learn how JavaScript APIs fit into the HTML5 ecosystem, and how to use any API in your web pages.Use the Geolocation API to know where your users are.Bring out your inner artist with Canvas, HTML5's new 2D drawing surface.Go beyond just plugging a video into your pages, and create custom video experiences.Learn the secret to grabbing five megabytes of storage in every user's browser.Improve your page's responsiveness and performance with Web workers.And much more.

Scripture tells us that we should praise God and honor people with our words. This is a great goal to which we should all aspire, but it has proven difficult to obtain. It is far too easy to praise God and criticize individuals that are made in His image. You are not alone if you have experienced these inconsistencies. Thankfully, the Bible gives us some clear instruction on how to have consistency in our speech. This book will explore the connection between the human heart and the words that flow from the mouth, explain why there is discrepancy in speech and give practical applications to help you gain control over your words.

Each person is given the opportunity to respond to popular culture in a variety of ways. They can condemn, critique, consume or copy. Not only do individuals have this choice, each church has to choose its response to culture as well. What if we were never designed to passively respond to culture, but to create it? God specifically created each person to build a culture that honors Him. We are called to create a culture around us based upon the worship of God. The purpose of this culture is help people engage in worship beyond the corporate worship service. To teach them how to hear and see what God is doing and carry it out in every relationship and situation they encounter. To present something new and more compelling to the world than what they have seen before. This book will help you discover how to create culture by examining Jesus' example and then give you practical application on how to apply it to your life. This book is an invitation to come and discover the path towards creating a culture that acknowledges and worships God.
