Outline

In this session we’ll look at Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). SVG offers great opportunities to use for graphic elements on websites. They look great on all screens including retina displays. They can be easily embedded in CSS due to their small size. They also offer interactivity which means they can do more then just be an image on a site. These advantages make SVG a perfect addition to create resolution independent graphics for the future web. In this talk, the speaker will show demos and practical examples of how SVG can be mixed with other technologies to create compelling web assets.
