The Web Platform Podcast

Summary   Sara Soueidan (@SaraSoueidan) has been traveling the world talking about SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) over the past year. Since then, we’ve learned a lot more about the power of this declarative graphical language. Now that many projects have dropped support for Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) and older mobile browsers, SVG has become a staple for non-bitmap art, visualization, and other graphical web development. Sara has recently shared many of the ‘gotchas’ and best practices in talks at Beyond Tellerand in Düsseldorf & Microsoft Edge Web Summit. Together, we take a closer look at how developers can leverage her advice in our web projects today.   Resources   SVG W3C Working Group - http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/ MDN documentation - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG SVG 1.1 - http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/ SVG 2 - http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/ browser support - http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg SVG Effects Taskforce - http://www.w3.org/Graphics/fx/ Scaling check for IE9-IE11 - ht
