Abstract
Oh, how far the web browser has come! What started as a program for accessing text files over the network, soon revolutionized how we communicate and share, and has now evolved into a fully graphical, interactive programming environment. The most recent markup standard for these documents, HTML5, adds graphics capabilities that were previously available only with native applications. After a period of stagnation, modern web browsers benefit from a new wave of competition and innovation with HTML5 and JavaScript. The new canvas element provides a way to create standards-compliant games, applications, and animations that work across modern web browsers and mobile devices, including popular phones and tablets such as iPhones, iPads, and Android devices.
