Preface

HTML5 Canvas offers developers the chance to create animated graphics in ordinary web browsers using common tools: HTML and JavaScript. Canvas is one of the most visible parts of HTML5, fueling demo after demo, game after game. It offers interactivity with great visuals, and provides tremendous freedom to do whatever you want in the browser window. However, it differs enough from typical JavaScript development (as well as Flash and Silverlight development) that it needs careful exploration!

Running the Examples in the Book

The best part about programming HTML5 Canvas is that the entry barrier is very low all you need is a modern web browser and a text editor.

As far as compatibility, we suggest you download and/or use the latest version of the web browsers as ordered below.

  1. Chrome

  2. Safari

  3. Opera

  4. Firefox

  5. Internet Explorer (version 9 or higher)

Every example in this book was tested with Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera. Late in the development of the example code, Firefox started causing issues. While we made every attempt to ensure these examples worked across as many browsers as possible, we recommend you use Google Chrome or Safari for the best results until Canvas support improves.

Please note that if you are using the .pdf version of this book to cut and paste the code, there may be instances where minus (-) signs are represented by another character, such as a hyphen. You may need to replace the other character with a minus sign (-) to get the code to work properly.

We suggest that if you have purchased the electronic version of this book, you should use the printed code samples as a guide only, and instead download the code from the book distribution. With that code, you will also get all the images, libraries, and assets necessary to make all the examples work in a web browser.

What You Need to Know

Ideally, you know your way around programming in some kind of modern language, such as C, C++, C#, ActionScript 2, ActionScript 3, Java, or JavaScript. However, if youre new to this space, we will introduce Canvas in a way that should familiarize you with web programming at the same time.

Web developers with a foundation in HTML and JavaScript should easily be able to pick up this book and run with it.

If you are a Flash developer, JavaScript and ActionScript 1 are essentially the same language. While Adobe took some liberties with ActionScript 2, you should be very comfortable with JavaScript. If you only have experience with ActionScript 3, JavaScript might feel like a step backward.

If you are a Silverlight or C# developer, take a deep breath and think about a time before ASP.NET/C# when you might have had to develop web apps in VBScript. You are about to enter a similar space.

How This Book Is Organized

This book is organized into 11 chapters. The first four chapters walk you through the HTML Canvas API by example. The topics covered include text, images, and drawing. These chapters contain a few finished apps, but mainly consist of demos designed to show you the facets of the Canvas API. The following six chapters build upon the Canvas API by expanding the scope of the examples to application length. In these chapters, we discuss math and physics applications, video, audio, games, and mobile. The final chapter introduces a couple experimental areas: 3D and multiplayer.

What you wont get in this book is a simple rundown and retelling of the published W3C Canvas API. While we cover portions of the API in detail, some of it is not applicable to games. Furthermore, you can just read the documentation here:

http://dev.w3.org/html5/2dcontext

Our goal is to feature the ways Canvas can be used to create animation, games, and entertainment applications for the Web.
