We already had a taste of CSS3 back in July, and we are ready for more. Michael Mullany, from Sencha (which makes HTML5 based SDKs and tools), generously offered to take up deeper into the world of CSS Transforms and Transitions - a.k.a. eye-candy :-) Animations are built on top of CSS Transforms and Transitions, and provide a keyframe-based animation technology for web page animation. In this session, I'll cover the elements of CSS transitions and transforms and the state of their implementation in current browsers. Then I'll move into CSS Animations and show the mechanics of creating timelines, animation nestings, performance optimization and more. I'll also compare and contrast CSS3 Animations with SVG based animations. About Michael Mullany:Michael Mullany is VP of Products & Marketing at Sencha, which makes HTML5 based SDKs and tools. He started his career doing product management for the Netscape browser and has done technical product management and marketing for Loudcloud, VMware and EngineYard among other companies.
