Using CSS3 Transitions & Animations on Lanyrd
Please add yourself to the event on Upcoming
This session, led by Aron Carroll, will explore the use of CSS transitions and animations as an alternative to traditional JavaScript methods. Although animations are still just a proposed part of the CSS3 spec, enough browsers have now added support that it is worth considering them a tool for use in your projects.
The talk will cover implementation of CSS animations in both CSS and JavaScript, browser coverage, progressive enhancement for unsupported browsers and a look into current limitations of the specification. Having some knowledge of both CSS and JavaScript will be useful but should not be necessary to follow the talk.
Bring a laptop, if you want to hack along with the session.
Aron currently lives and works in Brighton as a Web Developer for a Mac software company where he builds and maintains their web applications.
