CSS Tutorial – CSS Animations With SVGs

Rengga Dev – Transitions & animations combined with SVGs. There isn’t just one way to animate SVG. There is the <animate> tag that goes right into the SVG code. We’re going to look at another way: using inline SVG (SVG code right inside HTML) and animating the parts right through CSS.
