My presentation for HighEdWeb 2024 was an overview of many recent and forthcoming additions to the web platform, specifically HTML and CSS.
Over the past few years, CSS has been gaining features at a rate that is almost impossible to follow. Features that once required pre-processors are now native to the platform. Variables? Check. Nesting? Check. And now there’s even whispers of mixins.
During this presentation we will examine many of the latest features added to CSS including layers, container queries, subgrid, nesting, and probably the dozens of others added since this presentation was submitted. We will discuss the syntax and look at real-world use-cases. We will also briefly cover what’s on the horizon for CSS.
