A round-up of all Codrops resources of 2015
Just like last year, we've collected all Codrops resources to celebrate yet another year of creative inspiration.
2015 was a year of profound changes and also quite a bit of reconciliation with the past by marrying traditional design methods with modern techniques.
While the previous year was marked by simplified, flat design and the beginnings of exciting animation manifestos, this year was full of ideas on how to move forward to a more sophisticated and mature web.
The coming year will certainly be even more exciting as it will reveal how we'll use all the new techniques and ideas in order to shape the future web.
And now, join us for a look back at 2015!
We are so happy that we shared the CSS Reference with you this year! Sara Soueidan has written over 300 entries on all the important CSS properties, functions, data-types, at-rules and pseudo-classes so that learning CSS becomes easier.
