After a decade, CSS 2.1 has finally become more consistent across browsers, giving designers and developers more creative options than ever before. Of course, with work well underway in CSS3, we find ourselves again challenged by how to tap into CSS3's wonderful features such as real fonts, HSL color, transparency/opacity, media queries - the list of features goes on and on. But once again, we find ourselves hungering to use these powerful technologies, yet battling browser inconsistencies. By using progressive techniques, the Speaker will show you how to make these features available in the majority of browsers useful today, while ensuring that those browsers without support get a good experience, too. Even in IE6!
