Building HTML5 Canvas projects from scratch

Course details

Best way to learn is by real examples of code, showing you how the code works together to create amazing applications from scratch.

Canvas drawing is done using JavaScript, this course focuses on JavaScript based around HTML5 canvas interactions. Also covers some basic AJAX, PHP, JQUERY, Bootstrap.

HTML5 canvas provides an amazing opportunity to create some really cool effects on web pages. This course will show you how to build projects from scratch, using HTML5 and JavaScript. How to use JavaScript applying it to the canvas to create animation and user generated content on the fly.

I have over 15+ years of web development experience, and have worked on hundreds of web applications just like these. One of the best ways to learn is by example, so I've created some projects that really demonstrate core applications that can be created using html5.

This course is designed to help you learn and develop skills for working on real world concepts using JavaScript and HTML5. Starting from scratch, step by step explanations of what code to use and where. We demonstrate how the code gets used, in addition to the process of building something from concept to launch.

All of the source files are included, top resources and links are shared throughout the course. Code samples are explained step by step, and you are encouraged to work along with the course material.
