About the Talk

We're going to get our hands dirty and delve into the technical side of creating transitions and keyframe animations with CSS3. We'll start by going over transforms (both 2D and 3D) and transitions and then talk about how to combine these to create compelling animations using keyframes. We'll dissect some basic animations to see how they've been put together, then step through the creation of a more complex animation, from planning and storyboarding to creating the code to finished product.

Along the way, he'll share tips, tricks and resources and show how some basic animation principles can keep everything looking more smooth and realistic.
