CSSDay 2016 Recap

CSSDay was held in sunny Arizona on December 3, 2016. The conference is geared towards front-end developers who want to dive deeper into advanced CSS topics.

CSS Day 2016 covered a wide range of topics for a one day conference including SVG, animation, color theory, design, layout and more. Throughout the day, a focus on code architecture was a theme. Attendees heard a few different perspectives which were interesting to listen to and compare.

Below are the available videos and slides of each session, including two from our very own OddBirds.

Sarah has become one of the primary voices on web-SVG and animation, leading to her recent SVG Animations book from O’Reilly.

John’s talk was a case study looking into the benefits of switching from jQuery to CSS for web and mobile applications.

The organizers and volunteers did a great job bringing the community together.

Helping to plan CSSDay with my friends as a conference by developers, for developers, has been one of the most rewarding and exciting things that I’ve been able to do in my career. I’ve met so many amazing and talented people along the way. It has been an experience.
