After Grid and Flexbox CSS seems to have lost most of its dynamic. The most urgent layout problems seem to be solved and all eyes turn to JavaScript, because that's where all the exciting things seem to happen at the moment. But is CSS really "feature complete"? And does this development standstill really exist? To find that out, we first search for recently implemented CSS properties. Maybe we will find some after all? Then we take a look into the W3C's CSS crystal ball to see if there are some exciting things planned for the future.

Christian Schaefer (https://twitter.com/derSchepp), known as "Schepp", is a freelance frontend developer from Düsseldorf, Germany. Instead of hacking around with JS-Frameworks as almost every other frontend developer currently does, he works on traditional server-rendered component-based systems, uses bleeding edge CSS, has an eye on accessibility as well as the loading and runtime performance of a site. And then he also organizes a meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Webworker-NRW/) and co-hosts a podcast (https://workingdraft.de/).


Nach Grid und Flexbox scheint die Luft aus CSS ein wenig raus zu sein. Die drängendsten Layoutprobleme scheinen gelöst und aller Augen wenden sich nun endgültig JavaScript zu, denn dort scheint derzeit alles Spannende zu passieren. Aber ist CSS wirklich „feature complete“? Und gibt es diesen Entwicklungsstillstand wirklich? Um das Herauszufinden gehen wir zunächst auf Spurensuche nach kürzlich implementierten CSS Eigenschaften. Vielleicht finden wir ja doch welche? Anschließend werfen wir einen Blick in die W3C‘sche CSS Glaskugel, um zu sehen, ob nicht vielleicht doch ein paar spannende Dinge für die Zukunft geplant sind.

Christian Schaefer (https://twitter.com/derSchepp), auch "Schepp" genannt, ist freiberuflicher Frontend-Entwickler aus Düsseldorf. Anstatt mit hippen JavaScript-Frameworks herumzuspielen wie gefühlt sonst fast jeder, arbeitet er an traditionellen, serverseitig gerenderten Komponenten-Bibliotheken und nutzt dabei modernstes CSS, achtet auf Barrierefreiheit und eine rasend schnelle Ladezeit. Außerdem organisiert er ein Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/Webworker-NRW/) und podcastet über Frontend-Themen (https://workingdraft.de/).
