Make HTML5 Games - No Programming Required
Construct 2 is the follow up from Scirra's Construct Classic which has had around 500,000 downloads to date.  Construct 2 allows people to make game in an intuitive and visual way.  Scirra's ambition is to make Construct 2 better, more stable and more powerful than Construct Classic.  Construct 2 is based on years of experience developing Construct Classic.

Export to HTML5
Construct 2 initially only exports to HTML5, but more export formats are going to be supported in the future such as EXE and possibly native mobile applications.  Construct 2 is mainly for 2D game development.  It aims to open the doors of game making to everyone by presenting making games in a visual and intuitive way.

HTML5 Demos
Scirra has released a couple of fully playable and functional HTML5 demos.  The project files for these demos can also be downloaded and experimented with.

Construct 2 Versions
There are currently three versions of Construct 2, the free edition, the standard early adopter and the business early adopter.  The free version comes bundled with free music, sound effects, ambient sounds and animated sprites.  The paid editions release a few restrictions the free version places and also come with far more resources to use in your games.

Learning Resources
Scirra's website has lots of tutorials and their forum is very active.
