Inspired by @schalkventerdev's wonderful talk at WordCamp Cape Town 2024 (@WPCapeTown), this blog post explores the new CSS View Transitions. Learn how to easily add smooth, engaging animations to your WordPress and WooCommerce sites! fooevents.com/css-view-trans…
The first tech conference I every attended was Wordcamp back in 2013. Now 11 years later, in 2024, I'm happy to confirm that I will be speaking on the history of CSS animation and the upcoming "CSS View Transition" API at the very same conference! ✨

Fixed the illusive bug and add example code from last week's "Web Components in React 19" session to Github: github.com/schalkventer/reac…
For anyone curious, the bug was that I destructured "value" from the HTML element, thus breaking the in-memory reference.
Added some timestamps to last night's talk:
