Session: CSS3: Evolution

You want to create great experiences on the web. You want time-saving tools and techniques. Your clients want to save bandwidth and page load time. CSS is evolving—but CSS3 modules are still mutating. How can you adapt your workflow and take advantage of some of these features to effectively enhance your pages now? What tools are available to save your brain’s bandwidth? Should you be delayed in this process by browsers in the process of becoming extinct?

In this session, Stephanie will look at some of the more specific, new selectors, the properties available for use today that can speed up both your website and its creation, and ways to detect specific features and provide ancient browsers with an equally acceptable experience. Don’t let your skills become extinct — evolve!
