Svg Unleashed - Softcover
Targeted to the experienced Web programmer, SVG Unleashed equips the reader with the practical knowledge to create and manipulate Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) programmatically, both on the client and the server side. Part I of the book provides a thorough reference of SVG syntax, elements, coordinate systems and animations, with coverage of the XML Document Object Model (DOM) and the SVG DOM application to programming with particular emphasis on the use of ECMAScript/JavaScript. In Part II, readers learn to use several server-side languages to create SVG documents. Part IV demonstrates SVG programming through several case studies.
