SVG Animation and Web Performance with GSAP

Web animation is a powerful tool for modern storytelling, but poorly optimized animations can easily slow down your site and ruin the user experience. This text-only course guides you through the fundamentals of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) and the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP), showing you how to build smooth, hardware-accelerated animations that look crisp on any screen size. What you'll learn: - Understand SVG syntax, structure, and optimization techniques for clean web integration. - Master GSAP core concepts including tweens, timelines, and control methods. - Apply performance best practices by leveraging hardware acceleration and minimizing layout thrashing. - Create responsive and fluid animations that adapt seamlessly to different viewport sizes. - Implement web accessibility standards to ensure animated content is usable for all visitors. - Debug and profile animation performance using modern browser developer tools. You will start with the essential building blocks of SVGs and basic animation concepts before moving on to complex timelines, performance profiling, and modern optimization workflows. This course is designed for web developers, designers, and beginners who want to learn the mechanics of high-performance web animation without needing prior animation experience.
