Multi-Player Gaming in HTML 5

This course is aimed at experienced programmers with some background in C, Java, or Javascript programming.  The concepts focused on in this course will be on how to quickly and correctly deploy a multi-player game to the web using a number of popular technologies.   Specifically this course will follow the development of the core infrastructure of a simple multi-player game for use on the web (with extensions to mobile computing).  This will include the use of the Javascript scripting environment Node.js attached to a MongoDB Database.  We use the Express middle-ware to manage our web-traffic, Passport middle-ware for authentication, and Socket.io for handling the player-server communication.  Finally we rely on HTML 5 canvas programming for the user interface.
