Description
Learn how to make your website stand-out and look smooth. Every web developer should utilize transitions in CSS to enhance their web page's style!

Transitions in CSS are used to make the transition of styles look smooth. For example, when you hover over a button and the button appears darker, instead of having it instantly become darker, we can make it gradually become darker, making the button feel more 'alive'.

In this course, we make sure to cover all of the things you need to know about CSS Transitions. This includes the following:

Transition Durations

Transition Delays

Transition Properties

Transition Timing Functions

Custom Transition Timing Functions (cubic-besier)

Transition shorthands

With this knowledge, you should be able to do the following:

Create a button with a hover transition

Transition a background color smoothly between two different colors

Rotate HTML elements smoothly

Smoothly fade out the opacity of elements

Use cubic-besier to create custom transition timings

What should I know before taking this course?

Before taking this course, you should have a basic understanding of how CSS works in terms of using selectors to select different elements on an HTML page, and applying styles to those elements.

Basic HTML knowledge is also highly recommended, but not necessarily required.
