Mozilla Hacks | What are Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) & how are they special? | Web Demystified, Episode 4 @mozhacks | Uploaded 6 years ago | Updated 22 hours ago
In this episode, we discuss image formats, especially SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), the only vector image format for the web. It has unique abilities that let us create awesome graphic effects and it's actually easier to create than you think.

If you're interested in learning more about SVGs, you can learn the basics of SVGs here in MDN: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial

It's free and designed for people just getting started.
