An introduction to Scalable Vector Graphics (SVGs) — learn what they are, why they're useful, and how to use them in your web projects.

Learn about the fundamental SVG shapes — rectangles, circles, ellipses, lines, and polygons. Master the building blocks of SVG graphics.

Master the SVG coordinate system — understand how positioning works, how the origin is placed, and how to precisely control element placement in your graphics.

Learn how to style SVG elements using presentation attributes, inline CSS, and external stylesheets. Understand the cascade and specificity in SVG styling.

Master the SVG path element — the most powerful shape in SVG. Learn how to draw custom shapes, curves, and complex graphics with the path data syntax.

Learn how to draw straight lines and navigate paths in SVG. Master the M, L, H, V, and Z commands to create connected and disconnected shapes.

Master SVG curves with an in-depth exploration of quadratic and cubic Bezier curves. Learn when to use each type and how to create smooth, organic shapes.

Master the SVG arc command for drawing circular and elliptical curves. Learn the arc parameters, flags, and how to create rounded corners and pie charts.

Learn how to use SVG transforms to move, rotate, scale, and skew elements. Understand the foundation of SVG animation and complex graphics.

Learn how to animate SVG elements with CSS transitions. Create smooth, interactive animations that respond to user interactions and state changes.
