How to draw pretty things with code: 2D Graphics Programming - Alex Wayne

Using Javascript and web browsers' element, I'll show how to draw simple shapes, how to move, scale, and rotate a drawing context, and how to animate it. And although I will be using Javascript, many platforms have a 2D drawing API that work with the exact same principals.
