Making it move without Flash: CSS3 2D & 3D Animations in the Browser

CSS3 animation brings us many new ways to add interactivity, movement, and creativity to your sites. While Adobe Flash allowed us to do these things in the past, it does not allow us to do them universally on tablets and phones. Flash also required third party software to create.

With just a modern browser and a text editor, you now can achieve effects that are both impressive and subtle to give your work a modern look and feel. Even Adobe has embraced these technologies in their recent product suites.

This 60 minute talk will cover the basic mechanics of how to use these techniques, demonstrate how to gracefully degrade to the oldest browsers, and show you creative examples for what can be done. We'll be covering both 2D and 3D techniques, so bring your Anaglyph 3D glasses if you've got them!

Speaker Bio: Mike Randrup has been intensely geeky about computer graphics and programming since 1993. In addition to a decade of building complex custom web projects for DFW busineses, he had a prior life creating 3D animation for broadcast TV and Playstation game cinematics. Currently he is a User Interface and .NET Application Engineer on the mobile team at Match.com, and very excited about HTML5's capabilities.
