Course Description
Let’s say you’re building a website that uses lots of icons. How would you implement those on the web? As image files? They worked fine in the past, but not anymore; not with retina displays and responsive websites. Icon fonts are the way to go, and in this course you’ll learn all there is to know about them: what they are, how to use them, and how to make your own.
What You’ll Learn
- What icon fonts are, how they’re different from normal fonts, and why you should use them.
- How to embed fonts and use them within your HTML and CSS.
- The best icon font kits out there.
- How Bootstrap and Foundation approach icon fonts.
- Icon fonts vs. SVGs: comparing them in terms of accessibility, performance, browser support, and more.
