CSS has grown from a language for formatting documents into

a robust language for designing web applications. Its simplicity

is deceptive, however. It belies the complexity of the box model,

stacking contexts, specificity, and the cascade. It’s tough to

develop interfaces that work across a variety of screen sizes and

with an assortment of input mechanisms. CSS mastery lies in

understanding these concepts and how to mitigate them, as well

as understanding and using new tools such as linters, optimizers,

and preprocessors.

This book will show you how to write better, more efficient CSS,

and to take advantage of the plethora of the new cutting-edge

CSS features available to the front-end developer. You’ll also learn

to master tools that will improve your workflow.

• Organize your CSS to create efficient, reusable, and maintainable code


• Discover complex layout techniq ues: grid layouts, multi-column layouts,
  and more


• Use advanced effects: transitions, transforms, filter effect, and animations


• Take advantage of preprocessors to maximize your efficiency


• Combine CSS and SVG to create seriously powerful graphics

And much more...
