Forget about Web standards and go way beyond the usual capabilities of Web scripting languages. Learn how to create stunning effects using canvas/svg/vml, how to control animated graphics in JavaScript, and how to merge all kinds of standards and technologies to create a whole new world of possibilities. Using Paul's latest project as an example, he shows you how to adapt the things he talks about into new projects, featuring his new JavaScript game engine.

Paul demonstrates how to control animated graphics in the browser, how to scale and rotate elements smoothly, and how to combine canvas, svg and filters with CSS to adapt new standards in browsers that don't support them. See how to move physics from the real world to the Web browser.

In this session you learn how to:

• Create a walking animated character;
• Replicate new standards using existing technologies;
• Combine new standards to create a new experience.

This session was recorded at The Ajax Experience conference in Boston, Massachusetts, September 29 - October 1, 2008.
