In this book chapter, author Jeanine Meyer walks you through creating a user-scalable HTML5 logo as a demonstration of a project that makes use of  HTML5, JavaScript and other technologies — a good review of basic event-driven programming and other important features in HTML5.
Topics covered in the example include:
  • Drawing paths on a canvas
  • Placing text on a canvas
  • Coordinate transformations
  • Fonts for text drawn on canvas and fonts for text in other elements
  • Semantic tags
  • The range input element
Meyer uses the typical approach of basing an HTML project on past works, which among other benefits highlights some new elements of HTML5.
