Overview
A link that underlines itself when you hover over it. A menu that flies in when you tap on a button. A word that gets bigger when you click it. These are just a few of the animation effects today's web developers employ to make a user interface (UI) more memorable, engaging, and fun. Designed for learners with a basic familiarity with CSS, HTML, and JavaScript, this course teaches you how to use CSS transitions, the tool that makes these types of animations possible.
- Understand the different ways to animate CSS property changes
- Learn how to control property changes caused by user interactions or by changes in code
- Explore cubic-bezier timing functions and transition syntax
- Understand the interplay between transitions and JavaScript
- Gain experience creating UI animations like smooth sliding menus and more
