Paper.js

Just found an awesome vector graphics library for javascript.

“Paper.js is an open source vector graphics scripting framework that runs on top of the HTML5 Canvas. It offers a clean Scene Graph / Document Object Model and a lot of powerful functionality to create and work with vector graphics and bezier curves, all neatly wrapped up in a well designed, consistent and clean programming interface.”

Check it out here.

So I figured I would start this whole thing off with some links I’ve found useful over the last couple of months. Seeing as I’m a flash developer moving towards the world of html(5), css and javascript – most of the links in this post will touch on those subjects in one way or another.
