For more information on SVG including it's futere, go to 2010 Conference Video on SVG - 800x600
or you can watch it here (480x320).




It will guide you to the future of SVG with IE9, CSS3 and HTML5 through a video from MIX10 conference 2010.

The video shows everything about SVG and actually it's a very good tutorial.

It may take 3-20 seconds to load.
It's not a small file (30-40 minute running time).

You can watch the video here, too. Go to Mix10

Also, you may want to look 20 SVG uses that will make your jaw drop.

SVG Examples #1


To view SVG files in Internet Explorer, users have to download and install a browser plugin, such as Adobe SVG Viewer from Adobe SVG Viewer.

Here is an example of SVG animation Animation using path



The following examples of SVG animations can be used as a SVG tutorial but it meant to be a gallery showing different aspects of SVG. However, you can have the access to all the SVG sources of the examples that you can learn from them. There is a good tutorial site, SVG Primer, that teaches us a lot in a short period of time.

I made these examples targeting PCs, but I will add more examples for smartphones such as iPhone and Android phones.
