This book is all about programming Canvas. In addition to the basics of using Canvas, i-programmer author Ian Elliot goes into the skills that you need to make good use of these facilities. For example, a graphics application often needs to download or upload files, but exactly how to do this in a modern way is difficult to find out. If you do upload a file then you might want to work with it at the pixel level and this requires working with raw binary data. How do you do this in JavaScript, which tries hard to keep data types hidden from the programmer?

This practical cookbook, complete with ready-to-use code and discussions about how and why solutions work, concentrates on concurrent and multithreaded development.

In this book, well-known statistician David Spiegelhalter shows readers how to derive knowledge from raw data by focusing on the concepts and connections behind the math.
