Make Awesome Flat Buttons (with CSS)
You’ve seen them everywhere. The beautiful new flat buttons, with the super smooth transition effects that – let’s face it – just make us want to buy whatever they’re selling. It’s easy to see the trend to these buttons: They’re simple, they’re elegant, and they usually have some quirkly-but-awesome animation effect.

A Complete Guide to Flexbox
The main idea behind the flex layout is to give the container the ability to alter its items’ width/height (and order) to best fill the available space (mostly to accomodate to all kind of display devices and screen sizes). A flex container expands items to fill available free space, or shrinks them to prevent overflow.

Create a CSS Flipping Animation
CSS animations are a lot of fun; the beauty of them is that through many simple properties, you can create anything from an elegant fade in to a WTF-Pixar-would-be-proud effect. One CSS effect somewhere in between is the CSS flip effect, whereby there’s content on both the front and back of a given container. This tutorial will show you show to create that effect in as simple a manner as possible.

CSS Masking
Two commonly used operations in computer graphics are clipping and masking. Both operations hide visual portions of an element. If you have worked with SVG or HTML Canvas before, these operations are probably not new for you. Clipping defines the region of an element that is visible. Everything around this region does not get rendered – it gets “clipped”. On masking, a mask image is composited with the element, affecting the alpha channel of this element. Portions of a masked element get fully or partially transparent. The new CSS Masking specification aims to bring these two operations to the HTML world.

CSS Refreshers: Borders
Not only can CSS3 be used to create rounded corners, but plain-ole’ CSS can also be wrestled into displaying custom shapes.

Thankfully – as we gleefully take one more step away from Photoshop – this is no longer the case.

Making an Impressive Product Showcase with CSS3
A product page is any page on your website that showcases a product. It has to describe its features, give some screenshots, and be descriptive.

Luckily, a new compact JavaScript library can help you make a splash.

Enhance Your Website with the FullScreen API
One of the benefits to having new browser versions out every six weeks, is the rapid pace with which new functionality is introduced. The transition from nightly builds to official releases is merely weeks away. This means that even those of you who keep a close eye on the feature lists might miss an api or two. This is the case with the Full Screen API. As if overnight, it went from a neat experiment to a feature supported by more than half of the browsers in the wild. Right now you might be wondering how is this different from the regular full screen we’ve had for ages.

Handling high resolution sprite images with CSS3
The way I get it to display nicely for both dpi’s is to use the CSS3 background-size property to shrink it down to the correct size. Since the iPhone 4 naturally scales the image up there is no artefacts or blurriness as the image is already the correct size so you don’t need to use the special media query to make it render nicely.

Adaptive & Mobile Design with CSS3 Media Queries
Screen resolution nowsaday ranges from 320px (iPhone) to 2560px (large monitor) or even higher. Users no longer just browse the web with desktop computers.
