Using CreateJS - EaselJS

In this tutorial we will be exploring the CreateJS suite of libraries. CreateJS is suite of JavaScript libraries and tools for building rich, interactive experiences with HTML5. The CreateJS suite is divided into four libraries - EaselJS - Makes working with HTML5 canvas easy; TweenJS - For tweening HTML5 and JavaScript properties; SoundJS - Lets you easily work with HTML5 audio; and PreloadJS - Lets you manage and coordinate loading of assets.

EaselJS is a library for working with the HTML5 canvas. It consists of a full, hierarchical display list, a core interaction model, and helper classes to make working with Canvas much easier. Getting up and running with EaselJS could not be easier. You'll need to define a canvas element in your HTML and reference it in your JavaScript. EaselJS uses the notion of a Stage which is the top level Container for the display list ( the stage will be your canvas element).
