CSS3 Styling

Learning Objectives Apply CSS transitions to create smooth property changes on user interaction. Implement 2D transforms to rotate, scale, and move elements. Create a basic multi-step animation using @keyframes. Use the Flexbox layout model to align items in a container. Combine pseudo-classes like :hover with transitions and transforms to build interactive UI elements. Explain the difference between a CSS transition and a CSS animation.

TermDefinitionExample TransitionA CSS property that allows you to control the speed and smoothness of property changes over a given duration. It creates an effect between two states of an element.Making a button's background color change from blue to green over 0.5 seconds when you hover over it, instead of instantly. TransformA CSS property that lets you modify the coordinate space of an element. You can use it to move, rotate, scale, and skew elements.`transform: rotate(45deg);` would turn an element 45 degrees clockwise. Animation (@keyframes)A CSS rule that lets you define the steps of an animation sequence. You can set styles for specific points in time (like 0%, 50%, 100%) to create complex motion.Making a notification bell icon wiggle back and forth continuously by defining it...

Transition Syntax transition: property duration timing-function delay; Apply this to the base selector (not the :hover state) to define which property should animate, how long it should take, its speed curve, and any wait time before it starts. Example: `transition: background-color 0.3s ease-in-out;` Transform Syntax transform: function(value) function(value); Used to apply one or more transformations to an element. You can chain multiple functions together. Example: `transform: scale(1.2) rotate(10deg);` will make an element 20% bigger and rotate it 10 degrees. Keyframe Animation Syntax @keyframes animationName { 0% { property: value; } 100% { property: value; } } .element { animation: animationName 2s infinite; } First, define the animation steps using `@keyframes...
