HTML has been on a wild ride. Sure, HTML started as a mere markup language, but more recently HTMLs put on some major muscle. Now weve got a language tuned for building web applications with Web storage, 2D drawing, offline support, sockets and threads, and more. And to speak this language youve got to go beyond HTML5 markup and into the world of the DOM, events, and JavaScript APIs. Now you probably already know all about HTML markup (otherwise known as structure) and you know all about CSS style (presentation), but what youve been missing is JavaScript (behavior). If all you know about are structure and presentation, you can create some great looking pages, but theyre still just pages. When you add behavior with JavaScript, you can create an interactive experience; even better, you can create full blown web applications.
