I'm a web developer and I'm currently writing a book about game development in the web. The book is still a work in progress (it likely will never be "complete"), but it's quite usable and soon I'll be able to demonstrate small games with the currently existing chapters. The link is here:

I'm looking for someone to try it out, give some feedback, and possibly even write a game by following along the instructions. The target reader is a somewhat experienced programmer (such as a close-to-graduation CS student) who won't need to be told what's a function or class, but you don't need to know anything about game development to make use of the book.
