HTML5 Game Development is a course offered by Udacity, which is an e-learning platform. Courses offered by Udacity, edX, and Coursera (to name a few) are called massive open online courses (MOOCs). So far they're not accredited, but Udacity's and edX's offerings are free. And good information is a valuable thing.
Why HTML5? It holds the promise of being able to code once and publish (probably with a few adjustments) to a number of different mobile platforms, as well as the web. Apple products support HTML5; and, according to this article found at Mashable, Amazon Embraces HTML5 for New Ebooks. Amazon's developer portal is at developer.amazon.com. If you're interesting in marketing a mobile app you've developed, take a look at mobyaffiliates. W3C states "HTML5 Definition Complete, W3C Moves to Interoperability Testing and Performance" in a December 2012 release. This Wufoo page offers the current state of HTML5 forms for different platforms (I hoping it's truly current).
Returning to Udacity, I'm currently looking at the optional javascript crash course (because I tend to have a mental block against any C-based language). This is what I see:
An "Ask a question" button is below the video and the discussions on the topic can be very helpful. Note: looks like you don't have to be signed in to view the discussion.
In closing here's a demotivational poster on programming by Tom Distler.
Time for class.
