A Developer's Guide to the Future of Web Design
CSS3 is the technology behind most of the eye-catching visuals on the Web, but the docs can be dry and murky, and browser implementations of CSS3 can be inconsistent.
The Book of CSS3, 2nd Edition distills the dense technical language of the CSS3 specification into plain English and shows you what CSS3 can do now, in all major browsers. With real-world examples and a focus on the principles of good design, it will help you expand your CSS skills, allowing you to transform ordinary markup into stunning, richly-styled web pages.
Master the latest cutting-edge CSS3 features and learn how to:
* Stylize text with fully customizable outlines, drop shadows, and other effects
* Create, position, and resize background images on the fly
* Spice up static web pages with event-driven transitions and animations
* Apply 2D and 3D transformations to text and images
* Use linear and radial gradients to create smooth color transitions
* Tailor a website's appearance to smartphones and other devices
This fully updated second edition features revised chapters on Gradients, Flexbox, and Grids as well as coverage of emerging layout features like Regions and Shapes, and graphical effects like Filters and Blend Modes. A companion website includes up-to-date browser compatibility charts and live CSS3 examples.
The Web can be an ugly place. Make it pretty with The Book of CSS3.
