The GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) has become the industry standard for scripted animation due to its advanced features and incredible performance. It is used in the majority of award winning websites and it’s so popular in HTML5 banners that Google is hosting it for everyone to use.
GSAP is the only solution that allows you to dynamically create and control robust animation sequences on the widest range of screens and devices. It is a JavaScript-based API that is literally 20x faster than jQuery under stress and offers many more features. Its features and performance will not only meet the needs of the most demanding professionals, but the syntax is totally beginner-friendly. You’ll be amazed at how easy and flexible it is to create animations with code.
This book offers a comprehensive exploration of GSAP. Learn how it can bring powerful & engaging animation to your interactive projects.
You should be comfortable hand-coding HTML and CSS and have working knowledge of basic JavaScript concepts (variables, functions, loops) as covered in our JavaScript and jQuery book.
About the Video Course
The eBook + Video training is the next best thing to taking a live class. In each video, Carl Schooff of GreenSock will teach you about a topic. After watching each video, you can then do the corresponding exercise in the eBook.
Here’s how the Videos and eBook work:
- You’ll download the videos (about 800MB), so you watch them at any time on your computer.
- You’ll also download the eBook, which contains the exercises you’ll go through after each video demonstration. You can download a PDF, EPUB, or MOBI file (whichever you prefer) so you can load the eBook onto a mobile phone, tablet, eReader, or even print the PDF.
- Launch the video course on your computer. It will open in a web browser, but does not require the internet to watch. Watch a video, ideally starting with the first.
- Go through the corresponding exercise in the eBook. It works best if you can see the eBook as you work through the exercises on your computer.
Includes Downloadable Class Files (works on Mac & PC)
