Further REading
Hi Pippa,
Here's a link to the blog post about the doc sprint, with links to all the work: http://hacks.mozilla.org/2010/10/web-standards-doc-sprint-finis/
I think Paul Rouget is working on a tutorial for web forms, but he wants to publish it on the Hacks blog before putting it on MDN, so I haven't seen it yet.
Some other content on MDN that might be useful for the Webcraft Toolshed:
- Canvas: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Canvas_tutorial
- JavaScript: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/A_re-introduction_to_JavaScript
Needs work:
