The Transformation of the Transform

A presentation at CSS Dev Conf in October 2017 in New Orleans, LA, USA by Dan Wilson

While CSS Transforms have been helping us position and animate for years, they are gaining new life as CSS grows. We'll get creative with Transforms and their related properties by taking a look at some of their lesser known aspects, digging into 3D, and exploring how they can be combined in interesting ways with newer tools like CSS Variables. There will be a tiny bit of math... but it's totally the fun kind.
