As a popular technology, the development of CSS is indeed somewhat slow. CSS was first proposed in 1994 and first supported by browsers in 1996. CSS has been touted as the successor to traditional HTML-based web code. CSS's ability to use style sheets to control fonts and layout throughout the site makes it look very efficient, easy to design, and visionary. However, there are always myths surrounding CSS that prevent web designers from learning and mastering the language. What is all the fuss about?
We interviewed university teacher Christopher Schmitt, who is one of the advocates of CSS. Christopher firmly believes that CSS will become one of the essential knowledge for web designers.
Q: CSS has entered its prime development period. What do you think are the top ten reasons why all of us should learn and start using CSS now?
Christopher: Oh, here are my top ten reasons, in no particular order:
1. CSS will be built from the ground up until it completely replaces traditional web design methods. CSS technology created by the W3C organization will replace HTML tables, font tags, frames and other HTML elements used for presentation.
2. Improve page browsing speed. Using CSS methods can save at least 50% of the file size compared to traditional web design methods.
3. Shorten the revision time. A site with hundreds or thousands of pages can be redesigned by simply modifying a few CSS files.
4. Powerful font control and typesetting capabilities. The ability of CSS to control fonts is much better than the poor FONT tag. With CSS, we no longer need to use FONT tags or transparent 1 px GIF images to control titles, change font color, font style, etc.
5.CSS is very easy to write. You can write CSS as easily as HTML code.
6. Improve ease of use. HTML can be structured using CSS. For example, the
tag is only used to control paragraphs, the heading tag is only used to control titles, the table tag is only used to represent formatted data, etc. You can add more users without creating separate versions.
7. You can design once and publish anywhere. Your designs are not only used in web browsers, but can also be published on other devices, such as PowerPoint.
8. Better control of page layout. Needless to say.
9. Separate performance and content. By stripping the design out into a separate style file, you can reduce the chance of invalid pages in the future.
10. More convenient for search engines. By replacing nested tags with HTML that contains only structured content, search engines will find your content more efficiently and may give you a higher ranking.

What does it look like to refactor your own code? John Rhea picks apart an old CSS animation he wrote and walks through the thought process of optimizing it.

Using scroll shadows, especially for mobile devices, is a subtle bit of UX that Chris has covered before. Geoff covered a newer approach that uses the animation-timeline property. Here’s yet another way.

Let’s run through a quick refresher. Image maps date all the way back to HTML 3.2, where, first, server-side maps and then client-side maps defined clickable regions over an image using map and area elements.

The State of Devs survey is now open to participation, and unlike previous surveys it covers everything except code: career, workplace, but also health, hobbies, and more.

CSS Grid is a powerful tool for creating complex, responsive web layouts. It simplifies design, improves accessibility, and offers more control than older methods.
