25 October 11 01:03 AM | bipinjoshi

One of the reasons for the popularity of the web is the graphical user interface offered to the end users. Images, animations, fonts and other interactive effects make a website appealing from an end user's perspective. However, one limitation that website developers often encounter is drawing graphics in the browser. As a solution, developers often resort to Flash or Silverlight based plug-ins or generate graphics on the fly at server side and then send it to the client. HTML5 does a great job in client side graphic rendering by offering what is known as canvas. The actual drawing can be carried out using JavaScript code and certain new graphic objects. Understanding HTML5 canvas and associated JavaScript objects is important for any ASP.NET developer and this article teaches you just that.
