Learn how to become a true master of HTML5 canvas in my new book. In it I teach you how to use all the major features of canvas, animate with physics, and how to create two awesome space games.
The book has been written in a friendly way that makes it approachable to beginners and experts alike. It is predominantly for Web designers and programmers who are new to HTML5 and JavaScript, and it covers the absolute basics of creating interactive games and applications using the HTML5 canvas element. Experienced Web designers and programmers will also learn about all the features of canvas and how they can be used within their own projects. Flash developers looking to move into the JavaScript world will also benefit from the information in this book.
Developers who already have significant experience with HTML5 canvas will probably not get much from this book (it's called Foundation HTML5 Canvas for a reason). However, the chapters on animation and making games may still prove useful to you. I would suggest checking out the preview of the book and deciding for yourself.
The wait is finally over, at least if you live in the US. Foundation HTML5 Canvas, my first and most awesome book, is now in stock for delivery within the US. It’s also available to buy as a PDF download from the Apress website for the book.
Even though the book isn’t due for release until next Friday, one lucky developer in the US has already received his copy from Amazon. I hope he enjoys it! Check the full entry for the photo.
Still trying to decide whether Foundation HTML5 Canvas is worth your hard earned money? Well, you can now preview the book online to help make that decision an easy one. It will be released on April 22nd in the US, and May 6th in the UK.
Today is a good day; it’s the day that I officially submitted the final chapter for my forthcoming book on HTML5 canvas.
Foundation Canvas is very nearly finished. Here is a sneak peak at the two games that you’ll learn how to make in the book; they’re good fun!
So I’m writing a book on HTML5 canvas for Apress and Friends of ED. Who’dathunkit? You should definitely go and pre-order it and sign up to the newsletter for updates and competitions!
