Hidde de Vries

On the origin of cascades

It's been 25 years since the first people proposed a language to style the web. CSS has lived through years of platform evolution, and the cascade, specificity and the enormous choice in values and units set the language up for success. In this Darwin-themed talk, you'll learn how CSS came to be, and how the language's simplicity and flexibility still make it stand out today.
