SVG Animation

SVG animation is a brilliant way to bring personality and character to an online experience. But in an industry focused on metrics, these whimsical details are often overlooked or undervalued. In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to craft delightful animations, which will help you deliver more engaging digital products.

This workshop is a hands-on deep dive into (pretty much) everything there is to know about SVG and web animation. You’ll have time to tinker around and experiment, you can work on your own graphics or use pre-prepped ones, and most importantly – no one’s left behind. There are notes and code snippets every step of the way and you’ll leave with a docs site full of notes, links and tips from Cassie.

Check out the amazing things past attendees made in this codepen collection.
