CSS Dev Conf 2015

SVGs: their code looks kind of familiar, but have you ever tried to edit the code and end up breaking the whole darn thing?

I have been digging into the nitty gritty of SVG code, and it's helped me optimize my own SVGs and get started more quickly with libraries that work with SVGs like d3 and snap.svg.

Here are a few topics I'll cover in this session:

• Understand the mystery of the "viewBox", the SVG coordinate system and viewport, even what all those numbers and punctuation within a "path" actually mean. 
• How much of all that stuff that Sketch, Illustrator, and Inkscape exports out is actually needed, and what does it do? ("xlmns", "enable-background", etc.)
• What are the CSS properties that I can use to style SVGs, and when, how, and why?
• How can I use this information to animate SVGs?
