And so it begins... or has begun... whatever.

I've recently started delving into HTML5 learning CSS3, JavaScript, and the new HTML5 standards; which include Canvas and other nifty elements.

First off, I am not a programmer by trade.  I am an artist.  To be more specific, an artist in the video game development industry for the last 10 years (or so...).  I've always been fascinated by web development and the types of things that can be done in browsers using very simple interpreted script languages or markup languages like JavaScript and HTML.  With the recent additions of Canvas element to the HTML5 elements and the power of CSS3 combined with JavaScript, I thought it would be cool to try to make some games for the various browsers and document that process.

The goals:

• Learn something (most important)
• Share something (secondary)
• Make fun games that people like to play (unlikely)
• Make the development process visible to those watching (probably none)
• Share problems encountered and solutions to those who may be trying to do the same thing.
• Learn some more
• Share the learning process I use for just about everything.

I hope you enjoy the blog and more importantly hope that it is useful.  Your feedback is appreciated, and any suggestions will be implemented (if not implemented considered) and blogged about here.

Thanks for reading!  And good luck in your own projects.
