Looks awesome Rob - great to be able to flick through the book! Can’t wait to give it a good read once it is released.

It’s still in pre-order on Amazon France, but with others authors… http://www.amazon.fr/Foundation-Html5-Canvas-Games-Entertainment/dp/1430232919/ (Jeff and Steve Fulton?!)
Note that the photo at the bottom is showing your smile, so Amazon.fr is just half-wrong.

When I go there I get no preview option fyi.

@Mike: Thanks! I’m looking forward to it being out for people to read.
@Thomas: Thanks for the headsup. I’ll try and get that sorted out. :)

I still can’t find the link in the main post (feelings of inadequacy here) but the ‘feel free’ link not only works, but I like the looks of this book, KUDOS!

Looking forward to getting my hands on this!
Does it cover any js game frameworks? impactjs/craftyjs etc?
Rob Hawkes
@Owen: Thanks!
@Leon: I don’t cover how to use game engines, but I talk about them a little at the end. You might be interested in my recent tutorial for Script Junkie about making a game with the Impact game engine.

really looking forward to reading it and getting started on a little something myself.
