Where did HTML5 Come from?
 20 years of evolution: 1990 to 2010
HTML 2 3 3.2 4 4.01
XML XHTML1 1.1 1SE 2
Web Forms 2 Web Apps 1 H HTML5
 W3C participate in HTML5 (2006)
 Formed working group to work with WHATWG (Web Hypertext
Applications Technology Working Group) on HTML5 specification (2007)

 HTML4 + XHTML1 evolved into Web Apps 1 / HTML5
 2009 W3C dropped XHTML2 to focus on HTML5

HTML5 Semantics
Semantic Document Structure
 HTML5 introduces a new semantic
structure
 Replacing the use of DIV, SPAN
HEADER
and other elements with class and
ID attributes
 New elements include header, nav, NAV
article, section, aside, and footer

ARTICLE

SVG basics
Scalable Vector Graphics
 Scalable Vector Graphic
 To draw 2D vector graphics using XML
 “retained mode” : the objects tree is kept in memory
 Full DOM support
 Access to the SVG elements through the DOM
 SVG elements can be styled with CSS & can be
decorated with ARIA
 Included in HTML5 spec
 Native support in IE9 and other modern browsers
 Can be used from an external .svg file or in-line in
the document

HTML5 <svg>
Let’s see a very simple example

<svg width="400" height="200"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
<rect fill="red" x="20" y="20" width="100"
height="75" />
<rect fill="blue" x="50" y="50" width="100"
height="75" />
</svg>

SVG Basics
The element, some styling & interactivity

Canvas basics
Dynamic bitmap with JS
 Allow drawing into a bitmap area
 See it as a dynamic PNG ;-)
 JavaScript APIs & drawing primitives
 Rectangles, lines, fills, arcs, Bezier curves, etc.
 Immediate mode : « Fire and Forget »
 It does not remember what you drew last.
 It’s up to you to maintain your objects tree
 This is a black box : content not visible into the DOM
 Beware of accessibility issues
 Simple API: 45 methods, 21 attributes

HTML5 <canvas>
Let’s see a very simple sample code

<canvas id="myCanvas" width="200" height="200">
Your browser doesn’t support Canvas, sorry.
</canvas>

<script type="text/javascript">
var example = document.getElementById("myCanvas");
var context = example.getContext("2d");
context.fillStyle = "rgb(255,0,0)";
context.fillRect(30, 30, 50, 50);
</script>

Demo
Canvas Basics
The element, interactivity

High level differences: SVG and Canvas
Canvas SVG

Abstraction Pixel based (dynamic Shape based
bitmap)
Elements Single HTML element Multiple graphical elements
which become part of the
Document Object Model
(DOM)
Driver Modified through Script Modified through Script and
only CSS
Event Model User Interaction is User Interaction is
granular (x,y) abstracted (rect, path)

Performance Performance is better Performance is better with
with smaller surface smaller number of objects
and/or larger number of and/or larger surface.
objects

The last piece to help you choose

Use Case: Visualizing Data

 Maps
 Interactive Data Presentation
 High Speed Data

<style type="text/css"media="screen">
path:hover{fill:yellow;}
</style>

<canvas style="position:absolute;top:50px;left:50px"
onclick="addWeather();" id="canvasGraph"height="500px"width="800px"/>

for (var i= 0; i < weatherPatterns.length;i++) {
weatherPatterns[i].x += Math.floor(Math.random() * 3)-1;
weatherPatterns[i].y += Math.floor(Math.random() * 3) -1;
myContext.drawImage(weatherImage[weatherPatterns[i].ImageIndex],
weatherPatterns[i].x,
weatherPatterns[i].y);
}

Tools to generate SVG
You won’t be forced to type XML in notepad!

 Microsoft Visio
 Export as SVG

 Adobe Illustrator
 Save as SVG

 Inkspace
 Free Open source
software

Tools to generate Canvas
You won’t be forced to type every JS primitives neither ;-)
 AI2Canvas plug-in :
http://visitmix.com/labs/
ai2canvas/
 export vector and bitmap
artwork directly to an
HTML5 canvas
 provides drawing,
animation and coding
options such as events so
that you can build
interactive, well-designed
canvas-based web apps.
