Firstly, I love the drama: “We created support groups for designers emotionally scarred by inexplicable Internet Explorer bugs. Our hair started to gray.”
“CSS3 is actually a series of modules that are designed to be implemented separately and independently from each other.” These modules make updating easier and more precise, which leads to better websites in different browsers. It’s just another reason CSS3 is great! It may not be “done,” but it’s good to incorporate into websites right now as long as you know how to use it.
I liked the ‘critical’ and ‘non-critical’ chart. It helps for a web designer to prioritize, especially when using CSS3 for the first time. Since CSS3 is not quite finished, it’s important to know what you can and cannot use. The author lists them, and most we’ve learned in class and implemented in class examples, including the vendor prefixes. (um, what the heck is Konqueror?)
I didn’t think much of the order of the vendor prefixes, but I learned in this post that you put the CSS3 property last. Good to know! But I am glad he says there is a road being paved to a place where vendor prefixes don’t have to be used, because I find them annoying.
Overall, this information was great to help reiterate what we’ve already learned in class, as well as clarify some things, like vendor prefixes.
