Twin Cities Code Camp

We will unlock the HTML5 <canvas> element and illustrate what can be accomplished via its 2D API. Following a brief history of canvas, we will cover basic drawing commands, matrix transformations, image processing via pixel manipulation, real-time video effects, and show a step-by-step example of how to construct an animated scene in canvas. The talk will also feature a comparison other web graphics technologies such as Flash, and highlight the applications best suited for canvas.
