Foundation HTML5 Animation with JavaScript 

Foundation HTML5 Animation with Java Script covers everything that you need to know to create dynamic scripted animation using the HTML5 canvas. It provides information on all the relevant math you’ll need, before moving on to physics concepts like acceleration, velocity, easing, springs, collision detection, conservation of momentum, 3D, and forward and inverse kinematics.
Foundation HTML5 Animation with Java Script is a fantastic resource for all web developers working in HTML5 or switching over from Flash to create standards-compliant games, applications, and animations that will work across all modern browsers and most mobile devices, including i Phones, i Pads, and Android devices.

You will learn how to utilize the amazing animation and physics-based code originally created by author Keith Peters in his hugely successful Foundation Action Script Animation in all of your HTML5 applications. In no time at all, you’ll understand the concepts behind scripted animation and also have the ability to create all manner of exciting animations and games.
