Course Overview
Learn to create several useful code projects using html5 canvas JavaScript. Learn by example as we build these projects
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.

This course only has some academic value which means you can't exactly put it to good use in a real world environment. Yes, it can teach you about various JavaScript functions and methods regarding the HTML5 canvas but I have yet to find someone who uses this in their design. Also, I believe the instructor doesn't use a script (or uses it in an inexperienced way) and makes pauses that are long when something confuses him. There is no bigger picture here, you just track what he's writing and do the same on your computer.

The course is a very good beginning for graphic display. The instructor does an excellent presentation on how html5 canvas operates. If you are going to go into graphics design, this course will help in understanding how html5 and the DOM interact and used in the background of web design.
