Being rather busy I completely forgot to post the link to this last week, but I wrote an article for the great tutorial site NetTuts about CSS3 transitions.
It is a introduction for those who haven’t used the transitions before and goes on to a little more advanced usage within CSS3 animations – so go check it out at http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/css-fundametals-css-3-transitions/
Having just coded a large intranet that used all CSS/XHTML and no tables I can fully sympathise with people who are using tables for essential layout. Even with all the hacks it proved impossible to get everything exactly lined up across every browser/platform, and contrary to my expectations users DO notice when a box is 5px too low or a margin is missing from their version. Worse than that, they take offence and ring you up believing they’ve been discriminated against, especially Mac IE5 users who assume that you’re anti-apple.
