Frontiers of CSS: Its Past, Present, and Future

Over the last several years, browser support awesomeness for CSS has skyrocketed. We now have a large arsenal of tools on our belts to enhance design and UX on our sites. This session will inspect how far we've come in the CSS standard, where we are now, and where things will be going in the near future. We'll talk about cutting-edge techniques, how nicely they play with all modern browsers (maybe even some older ones), and where vendor prefixes are headed.
