Led by three SVG experts, you’ll learn step-by-step how to use SVG techniques for animation, overlays, and dynamic charts and graphs. Then you’ll put it all together by building two graphic-rich applications. Get started creating dynamic visual content using web technologies you’re familiar with—such as JavaScript, CSS, DOM, and AJAX.Discover how to:
Build client-side graphics with little impact on your web server;
Create simple user interfaces for mobile and desktop web browsers;
Work with complex shapes and design reusable patterns;
Position, scale, and rotate text elements using SVG transforms;
Create animations using the Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL);
Build more powerful animations by manipulating SVG with JavaScript;
Apply filters to sharpen, blur, warp, reconfigure colors, and more;
Make use of programming libraries such as Pergola, D3, and Polymaps.
