Building Touch Interfaces with HTML5: Develop and Design Speed up your site and create amazing user experiences

With the rapid adoption of tablet computers and smartphones comes the need for designing touch interfaces. HTML5 is the ideal format for doing so, and Building Responsive Touch Interfaces with HTML5 teaches how.



This book will help experienced web developers and designers learn how to create touch interfaces that users love. It's for people who have never built anything for the web, as well as those who have, but have been unsatisfied with the results.



Rather than a simple how-to, this book walks developers through the tools and concepts that make touch interfaces actually feel right. Readers are introduced to the limitations and strengths of touch devices, the new conventions of user interfaces, and the tools to achieve these goals. Use of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the HTML5 APIs is described in tutorial form, all with a focus on performance, responsiveness, and feel.
