We’ve got our books, our pencils, our paper and our pocket protectors, and we’re heading back to school. CSS3 school that is. Yes, we’ve been doing a lot of reading and studying about some of the new, exciting features that are around the somewhat distant corner for our profession.
With the W3c’s formal adoption of html 5 and the CSS3 buzz building every week, things are looking bright. But with the flurry of information out there it can be hard to find the latest and greatest on these new technologies. So, in order to help out a bit we’ve assembled a short list of articles and sites that have been instrumental in helping us get our feet under us. These resources can act as a sort of early primer for the designer to assist in scratching the surface in what might be one of the most fundamental changes to the web in the last 10 years.

Resources will change every week, changes will be made faster than we can absorb them, and we will, at times, surely feel out of date and out of place with these vast, changing resources.
