[Tutorial] Javascript/canvas for (absolute) beginners

I'm creating a series of screencasts with exercises that are aimed at people who don't know anything about programming. 3 chapters right now, a new chapter every week. It starts with simple graphics and games, and builds from there.

I'd love feedback!

*in a deep voice "Introduction to Javascript" hehe i love that.

Website looks great, very clean. Love the screencasts but are you outside when recording these?

Thanks, that's my voice with a few filters on it. I considered overproducing the entire show, but in the end decided to just do plain boring instruction.

Yes, when I started recording I didn't have internet at my apartment so I went to a nearby university. Lately I've been recording in my apartment with the windows closed. Do you feel like one is more distracting than the other?
