Canvas lets you produce graphics, animations, and applications using the HTML5 and JavaScript web standards.

Once the basics are covered you?ll move on to the more advanced features of canvas, including image and video manipulation. You?ll also learn how to create realistic animations with the help of some basic physics. Foundation HTML5 Canvas then teaches you how to create two thrilling space-based games using all the skills you?ve learned so far.
