Michael Sypes This book offers a nice primer on the use of the HTML5 Local Storage options, including LocalStorage and SessionStorage. There are some simple projects, explaining the use of basic CRUD operations, including counters, and storage/retrieval of form inputs. There is certainly enough basic information to get you started on the use of this new technology, and helpful hints for more advanced concepts, like local storage of images. I was disappointed, however, by the amount of pages devoted to CSS prettifying of the projects, which did nothing to advance the topic at hand. That aside, this is certainly worth the read to get yourself started using local storage techniques.
