25+ resources for succeeding with HTML5 canvas

In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past couple years, the canvas element in the HTML5 specification is fairly simple to understand. Basically, it’s a rectangular area in your page where you can use JavaScript for drawing anything you choose.

It is, quite literally, a digital “canvas” that you can use for rendering game graphics, graphs, animations, and other visual images on the fly. This basically eliminates the need for other types of online animation and graphics rendering (like Flash), and is much more compatible across platforms and devices.
