Make A Responsive CSS3 Image Slider

The idea is very similar to the previous example: an “imagestrip” containing all the photographs of our slider moving inside a window element which works to restrict the visibility of elements outside it. For this example, you’ll need four images, although in practice you could make a strip with as many images as you wished. The sole condition is that all the images must be exactly the same size.

CSS3 tucked corners

I had one of those moments this week when I remembered I saw a while ago a tucked corners effect made by Joshua Hibbert. That was cool.

CSS Pie Timer

At a first I thought it’s gonna be easy peasy, just have a circle, make it spin, hide some part of it behind a mask and I’m done. Well, it turned out it’s way more difficult. In fact, CSS is not prepared for such a task, even with preprocessors like SASS & Compass. We always struggle when it comes to making shapes, and even more when we have to style or animate those. Most of the time, we manage to work around it and get something working, at the price of maintainability or semantics.

Things are different now. CSS3 transitions and animations can do most of the heavy lifting and HTML5 audio can serve up the music and audio clips. You can do a lot without leaning on JavaScript at all, and when you lean on JavaScript, you can do so much more!
