A really great description of new CSS techniques.

This was a great presentation and it was really helpful to learn that some of this stuff is even possible – was it just a question of learning as you went, or was there some source material that you can recommend (sites / books / tutorials)

Thanks Andy,

These are all techniques I learnt while building Scrunchup. I found the use of nth-of-type for layout when I was doing the layout and thinking “there must be a better way of doing this”, so I reviewed a list of selectors to see what they did. I found this site most useful because it shows examples of what selectors do: http://www.quirksmode.org/css/contents.html

Some cool techniques I haven’t used before, particularly the nth-of-type, first-of-type and last-of-type stuff.

I’ll look at putting these into practice in the future when necessary.

Great introduction to some very clever stuff.
Would be nice to have the script to the presentation though, but for now I’m flicking through the slides and googling stuff that looks interesting.

Particularly looking forward to playing with nth-of-type for layout divs, as thus far I’ve had to do some horrific crowbarring of styles to get the right effect.
