Easy to learn and understand

This is a followup to one other, it is interesting for me to see the different coding styles and preferences, which will teach me a bit more about JavaScript.

By Brent Eckert on 12/16/2019

Very solid quick and easy course to get introduced to drawing and implementing javascript with HTML5 canvas. I enjoyed the swiftness and ease in implementing what the instructor was doing. One nitpick I have, though, is that I wish there was a little more insight into how the project or functionality can be expanded. Things like creating another color input to set the canvas background color (or how to get the image to save with a non-transparent background) and things of that nature. Over good course but a few extra bonus lectures on how to expand would make it even more awesome.

Fun fast course!

By Tony Prodger on 11/20/2018

I was entering code as we went through the lecture then I realised there was plenty of time at the end of the lecture to add the code so i didn't miss any of the lecture. Very Good.
