Cascading Styles

It’s a great time to revisit everything you thought you knew about CSS. Join Miriam for a deep dive into what makes the language work, and how we can harness its power to develop resilient and delightful experiences that hold up across browsers, languages, and device interfaces.

A lot has changed in the nearly 30 years since CSS was first proposed, and new features are shipping at an unprecedented rate – cascade layers, container queries, the ‘:has()’ selector, wide-gamut colors, subgrid, and so much more.

Meanwhile, we’re still getting used to custom properties and basic grids! Taken one at a time, the list can feel overwhelming, but these features all fit together to form a highly systemic language based on a radical foundation: the cascade of styles. Together, we’ll explore:

We’ll look at selectors, their specificity, nesting, and of course custom properties.

From modern CSS layout to functions, from aspect ratios to media & container queries.

Lastly, new color spaces & formats, accent-color and much more!
