Kurzbeschreibung
Foundation HTML5 Canvas: For Games and Entertainment teaches you how to make exciting interactive games and applications using HTML5 canvas. Canvas lets you produce graphics, animations, and applications using the HTML5 and JavaScript web standards. It allows you to draw directly within the browser without the need for third-party plugins like Adobe Flash, and so canvas works perfectly across desktop and mobile devices, like the iPhone and Android. Foundation HTML5 Canvas begins by introducing you to HTML5 and the cool new features that it opens up for you. You are then offered a quick guide to JavaScript programming to get you up to speed. Next up you'll receive a thorough introduction to the canvas element, which teaches you how to draw objects within the browser with great ease. 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. You'll find plenty of code examples and illustrations designed to help you understand even the most complex of topics. HTML5 is already here for you, and this book will provide you with all the information you need to enjoy the show. For more information, source code, and the latest blog posts from author Rob Hawkes, visit http://rawkes.com/foundationcanvas. What you'll learn * The exciting new features that HTML5 brings and how to use them * The basics of programming in JavaScript and capturing user input * What the canvas drawing element is all about and why you'd want to use it * How to utilize both basic and advanced features of canvas * How to create realistic animations using canvas and a splash of physics * How to make interactive games using canvas, JavaScript, and other HTML5 goodies Who this book is for The book has been written in a friendly way that makes it approachable to beginners and experts alike. It is predominantly for Web designers who are new to HTML5 and JavaScript, and 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 and Silverlight developers wanting to broaden their reach across the Web and mobile devices will also benefit from the information in this book. Table of Contents * Introducing HTML5 * Foundation JavaScript * Learning the Basics of Canvas * Pushing Canvas Further * Manipulating Images and Video * Making Things Move * Implementing Advanced Animation * Creating the Space Bowling Game * Creating the Asteroid Avoidance Game * Taking Things Further and the Future of Canvas

Fantastic introduction to Canvas!
23. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I've been building websites since FrontPage was the standard and everything was done in quirks mode by default. Thanks to that experience, I'm very accomplished working with regular HTML markup, have picked up more dynamic techniques (CMS platforms save a LOT of time!), and have learned JavaScript as well. When it comes to working with JS, regular HTML, or scripting a CMS to generate a page, I'm somewhat of an expert.
But when it comes to working with the newer elements of HTML5, namely Canvas, to say I'm a novice would be ... polite.
When I usually pick up "introduction to" books to learn a new concept I find them difficult to read because they're not really intro-level books. The "learn Adobe AIR" book I started with assumed you had already written several AIR applications. The "beginners JavaScript" book I started with years ago assumed you already worked with jQuery and YUI on a daily basis and dreamed in prototypes.
Foundation Canvas is different. It's actually approachable for those of us with zero experience working with HTML5 markup. And that's fantastic! Since much of HTML5 manipulation is done through JavaScript, the book starts with a spectacular introduction to how JS works, how to use libraries to optimize your workflow, and how to use JS with HTML5. If you already know what jQuery is or how to build an object prototype you can probably skip this chapter, but it's still a great building block for the rest of the book.
Every example throughout the book is very detailed, walks you through an explanation of what each piece of code does, and builds on the lessons learned in the previous chapter. By the end of the book you're already building your own HTML5-powered games, and the author gives you a preview of what else HTML5 can be used for by explaining further libraries you can use, additional APIs that add 3D support, and even his own HTML5 game, Rawkets.
This book is perfect for both beginning developers and experienced ones who want to grow their skillset into HTML5.

Love It
23. April 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This book has been instrumental in pushing my understanding of how to draw and animate using the Canvas API but also introducing me to physics and the mathematics involved with creating games. While those concepts can be complex the author does a good job of breaking them down and explaining them clearly.
If you want to develop a good understanding of how to use HTML5 Canvas and how to write games within Canvas this is the book for you. Yes it is a foundation, it gives you a foundation in this new technology and gives you enough exposure to the core concepts to competently go out and start making things yourself. There is always more that they could have demonstrated and as pointed out several times in the book if you want to delve right into the guts of game physics and the like there are entire books written on that one aspect. The author has written a great book which has been invaluable to me and I would highly recommend it.

Very good examples of real games
16. August 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
I bought this book along with a 2nd HTML games programming book from the same publisher, "Using games to learn HTML5".
This book by far had more realistic and modern example games.
The example games of bowling and meteor shooting are quite fun and relevant.
The "Using Games" book had text based games like dice and quiz and hangman with primitive graphics, circa 1995.
