I was inspired by this post after someone sent a funny video about how a dev team solved a problem and the only woman was the “mean” project manager. Like a few other women who got the link to the video, I thought it was a little stereotypical. That is because as I’ve learned more about CSS and creative uses of CSS and web animations, I’ve come to notice that a few experts and thought leaders in creative CSS and SVG animation are female. There are obviously more than I’m going to list here, but this post is based on my personal experiences with what they’ve put out.<\/p>\n
In\u00a0the order of whose work I last interacted with:<\/p>\n
I just finished Sarah’s course on Lynda, Advanced SVG Animations<\/strong>. It was originally produced by Frontend Masters, not Lynda. It’s more of an edited live\u00a0course (with students in the room) than an online course, so the educational style is very different from Lynda. (I personally did not like this format for Lynda, but I think it would be much better as an in-person course.)<\/p>\n Her course went into using GreenSock Animation Plugin (GSAP)<\/a> and a few of their plug-ins: Draggable<\/a>, DrawSVG [Plugin]<\/a>, motion on a path as an animation technique, SplitText<\/a>, and HSL color tweens<\/a>. She also talked about how she plans her animations\u00a0and showed examples of her work throughout the course.<\/p>\n
