CSS is at times something of the red headed step-shild of Web technologies, seen as fine for adding a bit of style to Web sites, but not “real programming”. Well think again. Beneath its stylish surface beats a powerhours of sophistication, Selectors, which you can use not only with CSS, but to manipulate the DOM as well using querySelector.

In this session, CSS wunderkind Fiona Chan takes us into the little explored world of sophisticated CSS selectors. Your development will never be the same again.
