  • Creating & learning CSS3 just got even easier!

    1

    Some of you are probably already aware about my site Create CSS3 which allows you to generate prefixed CSS3 super quickly and easily. To this day it is one of the only generators that supports all the prefixes for the major browser (most only support webkit and moz). I’ve been so happy with how easy it is to generate multi CSS3 properties so quickly. Developers from all over the world are adopting it as their favourite CSS3 generator.

    I wanted to keep it a leader in the CSS3 generator space as well as make it more useful for people who are unfamiliar with CSS3. Therefore I am here today to announce a major upgrade to createcss3.com which is sure to please developers of all skill levels.

  • Recap on 2012

    0

    What a year 2012 has been! Especially in the web space. I feel privileged to be working in the web space at this time. We’re sitting on the cusp of the web coming out of its teenage years and becoming an adult.

    Technology

    HTML5 & CSS3 have proven they have what it takes to create and manipulate your on screen elements in anyway you wish. WebGL is coming through to allow high speed 3D rendering in the browser. Flash is well and truly dead as I predicted back in 2010 much to the dislike of many flash developers. The great Flash developers have started to move to HTML5 technologies, I’m sure many Flash developers will stick with the Flash software and export out as HTML5 though.

  • CSS3, made easy.

    2

    Okay, so I’m guilty of not updating my blog for about a year, but it’s okay, I’ve got a helpful update for you today!

    Last year I showed you all how to start using CSS3 today. A year later more browsers are supporting more CSS3 properties and with IE 10 on the horizon we will likely have all the browsers supporting a lot of key CSS3 properties such as transitions and animations.

    That’s all positive, but the problem is different browser versions require the prefix, newer versions don’t. This is quite annoying to keep up with and write code for. There are a stack of CSS3 generators out there, the problem is when I’m writing code I know what properties I need and want to quickly stack them together and copy them into my stylesheet. A year and a half ago I built createcss3.com which was a CSS3 generator. Back then it was simple, it just supported a basic top to bottom gradient, border radius and outer box shadow for Firefox and Webkit.

    I have had a few people in my ear telling me to update it recently so I gathered all the knowledge I have learned over the past 18 months and put that into what I believe is now the best CSS3 generator out there at the moment.

    Let’s take a look at why it’s so good!
