Chapter 1. Why HTML5?
Before getting started, it is important that you understand what HTML5 is, how it works, and how it relates to what you already know as a Flash developer. This book uses Adobe Flash (CS6) as a reference when comparing functionalities of HTML5 with what Flash developers are commonly used to while creating applications in Flash. Therefore, a solid understanding of both the Adobe Flash IDE as well as ActionScript 3 will be required to properly follow the examples within this book.
In this chapter you will learn:
- What HTML5 actually is and what technologies are included within it
- Reasons for adding HTML5 development to your skillset
- Avoiding the initial issues involved in transitioning from Flash development
- Modern browser compatibility with HTML5 functionality
