The SMIL 2.0 Language is the Web's solution for multimedia. This book provides a comprehensive guide to all of SMIL 2.0's elements and attributes for both desktop and mobile multimedia presentations. Driven by dozens of examples and illustrated code fragments, every aspect of SMIL is treated. Starting with essential background information on media encoding and transfer, this book considers the document structure, media integration, presentation layout and detailed timing constructs available in a wide range of SMIL compatible players and browsers. The book also considers advanced SMIL topics of linking, content control and SMIL animation, all from a practical, implementation-oriented perspective.
