As the title says, it is indeed a course for beginners. I had no idea of how canvas worked and I just wanted to have a quick but understandable glance at what the basics of canvas are and this course totally gave me that.

I would recommend this course to anyone who's just looking for a quick explanation of what canvas is and what you can do with it.

5/5

Could have been more elaborative. Its just the basic course. I feel the presenter didn't explained the animation topic in detail as well as he wasnt pretty sure about the behaviour of canvas element at many topics.

I love this course. Although I have taken a course working with canvas it was with a language called processing and is slightly different from the javascript version. Enjoying this course very much so far. Can't wait to continue. This is a fantastic course. Let's get going with the program.
