With the speed that everything is changing, it’s easy to miss new advances or changes in technology, especially if it’s in a language that you don’t use on a daily basis.
So would it shock you to know how many new features have come to CSS in recent years? Now you can style an element based on how big it’s parent is, or based on what child elements you have, or change the page layout depending on if someone’s native language reads left-to-right, right-to-left or top-to-bottom!
Gone are the days we have to say “Sorry, CSS can’t do that” or reach for 52 different libraries to have something according to the design*. So join me as we tour the new world of CSS and play with the shiny new specs.
**Disclaimer: you’ll still need a library to style a select field, sorry. But pretty much everything else is possible now!
