Thinking Outside the Box With CSS

Many commonly used UI features rely completely on javascript to work-- but does it need to? CSS has come a long way, and with a little thinking outside the box, we can use CSS to create some truly magical interactions. I'm talking things that will leave JavaScript feeling like Keanu Reeves sitting on a park bench eating a disappointing sandwich. In this session we'll go over some of the most underrated features of CSS. ":" selectors, pseudo elements, animations, transitions, and my personal favorite: the mighty box-shadow. We will cover not only how these can be used individually, but also how, like the lions of Voltron, they can combine to become truly powerful in a world plagued with unnecessary JS. This presentation will assume that attendees have a working knowledge of CSS. Most of what will be shown relies on very specific cascading, and due to its ease in reading, complex examples will be shown using SCSS.
