CSS3 Pushing the Limits / Pushing the Limits (ePub)

Push CSS3 and your design skills to the limit--and
beyond!

Representing an evolutionary leap forward for CSS, CSS3 is
chock-full of new capabilities that dramatically expand the
boundaries of what a styling language can do. But many of those new
features remain undocumented, making it difficult to learn what
they are and how to use them to create the sophisticated sites and
web apps clients demand and users have grown to expect.

Until now.

This book introduces you to all of CSS3's new and advanced
features, and, with the help of dozens of real-world examples and
live demos, it shows how to use those features to design dazzling,
fully-responsive sites and web apps.

Among other things, you'll learn how to:

* Use
advanced selectors and an array of powerful new text tools

* Create
adaptable background images, decorative borders, and complex
patterns

* Create
amazing effects with 2D and 3D transforms, transitions, and
keyframe-based animations

* Take
advantage of new layout tools to solve an array of advanced layout
challenges--fast

* Vastly
simplify responsive site design using media queries and new layout
modules

* Create
abstract and scalable shapes and icons with
pseudo-elements

* Leverage
preprocessors and use CSS like a programming language within a
stylesheet context

Don't pass up this opportunity to go beyond the
basics and learn what CSS3 can really do!
