Workshop “Web Animation with CSS and HTML5” by Rachel Nabors

Implement your wildest dreams

To build the user interfaces of the future, today’s front end developers need to master animation - in theory and in code. Join award-winning cartoonist and CSS nerd Rachel Nabors for an in-browser cartooning session. Learn how to use CSS3 animations, JavaScript event listeners, and HTML5 audio sprites to build fun animations that pull users in. Rediscover the secrets animation studios employ to complete the "illusion of life." Walk away with the skills to implement your wildest dreams!

What you'll learn

  • Comprehensive knowledge of CSS animations and transitions
  • JavaScript event listeners for CSS animations and transitions
  • HTML5 audio and spriting techniques
  • Using spriting and cutouts to reduce resources in complex animations
  • Timing with CSS delays and JavaScript
  • Parallax gotchas and implementation
  • Spotting performance bottlenecks with Chrome Dev Tools

Prerequisites

This workshop is best suited to people who use CSS and HTML on a daily basis (you should understand the box model) and have some familiarity with JavaScript (you should know what an event listener is).

Preparation

All you need to bring is your favorite laptop, preferably with Chrome installed.
