SVG is considered as an important aspect of animating your web applications. It’s a cross-platform markup along with the combination of modern web technologies that proves to be the winning combination for web designers and developers. This book will show you the different facets of SVG and the various considerations and prerequisites for animating with SVG.
The book gets started with the basic concepts of SVG and then outlines the different ways that SVG can be used on the modern web.
You will learn how to author an SVG document using the most common features of SVG such as elements and attributes, and also learn how to serve SVG on the web with simple configuration tips for common web servers. Next, you will use SVG elements and SVG images in HTML documents.
