Описание: This book is about how to create interactive animations for the web using computer code and math. But
don't worry if you can't remember anything from your high school algebra class, you'll just need a minimal
understanding to get started. The purpose of this book is to give you the tools to create and express your
ideas, it's not about memorizing equations or theory—although I do explain the underlying ideas—but the
practical application of techniques to incorporate in your work. These are concepts and formulas that you
will see working, in real-time, right in front of you. Think of this book as the elements of motion, a catalog of
ideas to mix, match, and reference.

There are plenty of examples to play with, and it's very satisfying to watch something you've created move
around on screen—as if almost alive. But it can be even more satisfying to share this experience with your
friends by simply giving them a link to follow in their web browsers—this is the great benefit to distribution
using the Internet.

This book is a rewrite of the brilliant work by Keith Peters, Foundation ActionScript Animation. However,
instead of targeting Flash, this book uses modern web technologies like the HTML5 and JavaScript. The
malleability of this book is a result of the portability of its underlying concepts—the math is the same.
When you understand these basic building blocks, you are no longer reliant on the tools provided by
someone else, but you can implement these ideas wherever your programming life takes you.
