SVG Strikes Back

SVG was first introduced on the web in 2001 and finally came around to being a practical web technology in 2011. Thanks to wide browser support and the popularity of retina screens, SVG is a powerful and flexible technology that everyone should have in their web development toolbox. In this talk, I'll tell you why should be using SVGs now and how to integrate SVGs into responsive websites, use it in iconography for resolution independence, and use JavaScript and CSS to create animations and interactive prototypes.

I gave this talk at Front Porch in Dallas, TX on October 7th. http://frontporch.io/
