Well, I want to learn canvas in a limited period of time.

Any suggestions? Where to start?

Consider getting the O'Reilly book HTML5 Canvas that came out this year.

This was popular a few days ago: http://www.popstardefense.com/blog/js-development-reading-li... (HTML5 web dev reading list)

try and implement a classic game that you know the rules of really well (Astroids, Missle Command, Pac Man) using canvas for graphics and spine js/jquery html5 local storage for the ui/high schore/save game/network communication.

Dive Into HTML5 would seem a good place. Here's one mirror:

(It was released under some CC licence, so I'm guessing the mirror is legit. )
