People in the web design community now has been talking about the wonders brought about by CSS3. Obviously, it is does not only control the styling of the web page as what CSS2 does, but also the behavioral attributes of the design. This novel technology certainly makes it convenient for you to add animations and transitions right on your stylesheet.

Although it is hoped to be the technology that can perform a multi-faceted role in web designing, CSS3 unfortunately is not yet a w3C standard. While it is easier and more powerful than the previous versions, not all of its functions however have the support of major browsers unlike Javascript libraries. This is one of the reasons why developers prefer to use Javascript to perform different effects.

When the newest stylesheet language however reaches its full potential, it will surely change the way we do things in the industry. Right now however, it is a great experience to see it works. Follow these tutorials and continue enhancing your knowledge about the latest web technologies and platforms like HTML5 and CSS3 Templates so that next time you will not find difficulty making designs involving the two latest coding methods. Enjoy!
