Protractor (Featured Project)

Protractor  is a HTML5 application for Windows Phone. As the name suggest this application allows the device screen to be used as a protractor to measure length and angles of a geometric object. It also has the option to change the measuring units to Inch and mm.

HTML5 Canvas is used to perform all the drawing in the application which runs on Silverlight WebBrowser element.  This project could be a nice example for newbie to have a hands on experience on HTML5.
