CSS has grown from a language for formatting documents into a robust
language for designing web applications. Its simplicity is deceptive,
however. It belies the complexity of the box model, stacking contexts,
specificity, and the cascade. CSS mastery lies in understanding these
concepts and how to take advantage of them.
This book will show you how to write better, more efficient CSS, and to
use the plethora of the new cutting-edge CSS features available to the
front-end developer. You'll also learn to master tools that will improve
your workflow.
- Organize your CSS to create efficient, reusable, and maintainable code
- Discover complex layout techniques: grid layouts, multi-column
layouts, and more
- Use advanced effects: transitions, transforms, filter effect, and
animations
- Re-use and dynamically control CSS values with custom properties
- Combine CSS and SVG to create seriously powerful graphics
This edition has been thoroughly updated to cover newer CSS features and
techniques, including new chapters on visual effects and managing
document scroll.
