When I first found out about the new asynchronous programming, I was elated that Microsoft was working away from the overly complicated (to me) AsyncMethodCaller, IAsyncResult, etc. I think this is certainly the right path to take but it has its few drawbacks. I was working with it using a simple TCP server and client and this was probably a bad first project to start on.
This is probably the most simple example of canvas animation in html5. I hate when people post so called "example code" to show off while their code is overly-complicated and a terrible example. This example can be used as a basic building block in understanding core sections and graphics of javascript and html5 and can be added onto easily.
This was my very first html5 canvas page. It explores the drawing usages of .moveto(x,y) and .lineto(x,y). Moveto( ) is what should be used first to make the start point. Then, one can specify coordinates of any other point that you would like line to be drawn to. I forget off-hand if it is necessary to have the last point to be the start coordinates, but I would assume it would be good practice. In my canvas, I used code to map out a circle but only put line points at evenly placed points on the circle.
