HTML5 Builder Guy

Erick Engelke

A few days ago (September 2015) I released my new HTML5 Builder book on Amazon.com.  It is available at the Amazon US, GB and European web sites.   

I have spent several years writing the book describing techniques I created while writing quite a few real world applications.  Due to my experiences, I have included material on XML/REST, Database, dynamic control creation, and much more.  If you develop with HTML5 Builder, you will need this knowledge.

The HTML5 Builder application is available from Embarcadero.com as part of their excellent Delphi package.  It includes a WYSIWYG web editor and the RPCL open source libraries.  From my understanding, you are free to distribute the libraries in any way you wish: commercial, internal, open source, etc. 

While I appreciate that this bundling introduced us Delphi users to HTML5 Builder, I think the requirement to buy the other parts is a shame, because I think it would do well as a standalone product… with adequate documentation of course.

The main forum for discussion about HTML5 Builder is forums.embarcadero.com.  I try to answer some questions there, and I used general questions there to think of topics for my book, and now hopefully, for the second edition sometime in the future.

If you have any comments about my book or blog, please feel free to live a message here, or drop me a private Email at erickengelke@gmail.com.
