Summary

In this chapter, we tried to cover and learn as much as possible from the new and rich CSS3 features and describe which ones are available for us when developing apps for Windows 8. We looked in detail at the CSS selectors and learned to use them to filter the DOM elements according to our need. We learned about new layout techniques using the Grid and Flexbox display properties.

We saw what magic we can do with the animation and transform properties, and got to have a look at the power of media queries to help us build a responsive layout. In short, CSS3 is a wonderland and you will need to get familiar with its features in order to harness all its powers.

In the next chapter, we will go over the main features provided by the Windows Library for JavaScript, which is the backbone of the Windows Store app that is built using JavaScript.
