From reviews at amazon.com:
- Karlins instructs in an easy to follow manner with attention to the small details, all the while giving a solid overview of the ever evolving shape of the web (see Chapter 9 - Mobile Pages with JQuery). Of particular interest to me is the evolution of web video and the various solutions that have been developed to manage the numerous formats used and how to direct specific devices/browsers (see Chapter 5 - HTML 5 video).
- I really like the approach that the author takes in both explaining the big picture of all the concepts and then going into minute detailed, dummy-proof explanations.
