CSS has come a long way since the browser wars of the late 90s. What used to be a struggle, is now often a breeze (see box-shadow or border-radius). But the last 2 years have pushed CSS into entirely new territory: with DOM-aware variables and calculations that can drive your design, without all the invasive Javascript.

  • Basics for understanding Custom Properties & Calc().
  • Practical examples and use-cases for data-infused design.
  • Integrating with CSS Grids to build layouts on-the-fly.
