About this title

Synopsis

If you’re a web designer or app developer interested in sophisticated page styling, improved accessibility, and saving time and effort, this book is for you. This revised edition provides a comprehensive guide to CSS implementation, along with a thorough review of the latest CSS specifications.

CSS is a constantly evolving language for describing the presentation of web content on screen, printers, speech synthesizers, screen readers, and chat windows. It is used by all browsers on all screen sizes on all types of IoT devices, including phones, computers, video games, televisions, watches, kiosks, and auto consoles. Authors Eric Meyer and Estelle Weyl show you how to improve user experience, speed development, avoid potential bugs, and add life and depth to your applications through layout, transitions and animations, borders, backgrounds, text properties, and many other tools and techniques.

This guide covers:

• Selectors, specificity, and the cascade
• Values, units, fonts, and text properties
• Padding, borders, outlines, and margins
• Colors, backgrounds, and gradients
• Floats and positioning tricks
• Flexible box layout
• The new Grid layout system
• 2D and 3D transforms, transitions, and animation
• Filters, blending, clipping, and masking
• Media and feature queries
