Books/Tutorials to Learn SVG [closed]

Answer 1

The best reference book I've seen on SVG is SVG Essentials by J. David Eisenberg. I used that book to learn SVG. I also used Firefox to view SVGs and Inkscape to create them.

Answer 2

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/SVG might help.

Answer 3

You could have a look at the SVG tutorial at w3schools. They also have a SVG reference there.

Another very good source is SelfSVG, but it is in german.

Answer 4

You can practice SVG paths with this utility: Spark Path Utility

Answer 5

I learned it developing SVG Tiny software, mostly by reading the spec. SVG Tiny is basically a subset of full SVG and is focused on use in mobile phones and other "devices".

Adding to the links from previous answers, KevLinDev has a bunch of beginner-friendly tutorials.

EDIT: Removed Ikivo Animator link, since it is now leading to an entirely different kind of site.

Answer 6

I found SVGbasics to be a good starting point. I second Rich's choice for SVG Essentials.

And for the ultimate details you want to have the SVG specification within reach. As specifications go it's a rather dull read, but it contains a number of examples too.
