In this chapter, we learned about the basics of SVG including several SVG-specific elements, such as circle, text, and the elements used to make SVG gradients. We also learned about several ways to use SVG in HTML documents and as a background image in CSS.
We also learned about the Modernizr feature detection library and how to use it to create fallbacks for browsers that don't support SVG or specific SVG features.
In Chapter 2, Getting Started with Authoring SVG, you'll learn about many more SVG features as you will expand your knowledge of authoring SVG documents.
