Getting Started - Building JavaScript Games for Phones, Tablets, and Desktop - page 1

Part I
Getting Started
The first part of this topic covers the basics of developing game applications in JavaScript. You see
a number of simple examples that combine HTML with JavaScript. I give you an introduction to
the HTML5 standard and the new HTML elements that come with it, notably the canvas. This part
covers core JavaScript programming constructs such as instructions, expressions, objects, and
functions. In addition, I introduce the game loop and how to load and draw sprites (images).
