HTML5 Canvas Cookbook book review
I got a chance to review recently published HTML5 Canvas Cookbook by Eric Rowell (Packt Publishing).
Overall a very nice concise tutorial book. I have to praise the Eric for both his expertise, and ability to present the topic in a very understandable manner. It starts with a very simple topic how to draw a line, and goes all the way to game design. The JavaScript examples are very clean, and use conventional syntax style. In the first few chapters, I almost thought that this book was too entry level, but in a nice linear way, the books works up to the most advanced topics, line animations, or WebGL, applied to web design.
The only think I have an issue with is probably the title: I would expect a "cookbook" to be a series of applied advanced topics, where this book is more of a beginner's tutorial. (HTML5 canvas being such a young technology, we are all begines).
