That’s the focus of this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create button switches with CSS only, without a line of JavaScript. Ready for it?
Circle Hover Effects with CSS Transitions
In today’s tutorial we’ll experiment with hover effects on circles. Since we have the border radius property, we can create circular shapes and they have been appearing more often as design elements in websites. One use that I especially enjoy seeing is the circular thumbnail which just looks so much more interesting than the usual rectangular. And because the circle is such a special shape, we are going to create some special hover effects for it!

Animated 3D Bar Chart with CSS3
It all began with a small experiment that was inspired by a tutorial from Nettuts+ which shows a way how to embed a 3D bar chart into HTML pages using CSS, images and JavaScript. After reading the tutorial I challenged myself to turn this idea into pure CSS and see how far I can take it. The initial challenge was to create a classic semi-transparent 3D box with 6 sides. The final challenge was to create a complete 3D bar chart which we will create in this tutorial.
Creating an Animated 3D Bouncing Ball with CSS3

Fluid CSS3 Slideshow with Parallax Effect
