# Welcome to the jsGameWiki!

This is the brain for game programming with html5/canvas/javascript. 



I'm trying to structure helpful sources like eBooks, videos, blogs, articles, presentations...



### Structure

Part I - Content directly relevant to game programming with html5/canvas/javascript  

*i.e. tutorials, blog posts, engines, etc.*



Part II - Content related to web-development which can be useful in a game programming context  

*i.e. html5/canvas articles, javascript performance, etc.*



### Other Sources

A starting point for good javascript resources is bebraw's sensational [jswiki](https://github.com/bebraw/jswiki/wiki).  

*(Actually I see jsGameWiki as an addition to jsWiki for game programming topics)*



A second project I'm running is [webdevresources](https://github.com/DaRaFF/webdev-resources/), a collection of links on web-development in general.
