Scalable Vector Graphics—or SVG—is the new XML-based graphics standard
from the W3C that will enable Web documents to be smaller, faster and more
interactive. This insightful book takes you through the ins and outs of SVG,
from the basics to more complicated features. Whether you're a graphic
designer looking for new tools, or a programmer creating and managing
graphics, this book provides a solid foundation.
