Should I learn more SVG or focus on CSS?

Question

I have spent a while learning how to use SVG and how to animate and stuff, I really liked this, the HTML course offerend very little information about it but I continued learning from outside sources. I have start to believe I may be spending too much time on it, should I focus on the CSS course for now and learn more about SVG in the future if I ever need it again? Or should I learn more about it now and start CSS later? What I need to know is if SVG in your opinion is important or if I'm not gonna use it much in my future career anyway, is there a reason to master it?

Answer 1

Karak10 yes learning never ends.
But in my eyes
a) a good knowledge about what can be done with SVG and the general spirit of
b) good experience with most common shapes etc
c) knowing where to find answers

is the complete learning part.
The rest is practice and experience.
After a to c is more or less done, SVG has its place in your CV.

Answer 2

Learn both.
SVG is great and CSS is standard knowledge.
In general it is a great advantage to have a good knowledge about common topics and additionally have knowledge about a special topic.
SVG is one of them and to be honest...not too much to learn.

Answer 3

Well, it depends on how much you want to do with your projects, learning the both simultaneously would just lead to you getting burned out and dropping them both for a long time, well, I'd advice to learn CSS as it is way more useful when styling a webpage. SVG and canvas on the other hand are best for graphics and animations
Hope this was helpful to anyone🙂

Oma Falk well, it has a pretty big ammount of stuff you can do. There are many different attributes and elements to decorate text, there are many different shapes that need different coordinates and attributes to work, there then are paths, a lot of different curves and arcs that will take you a while to fully understand, after you finish with this then you can learn how to make text paths, or how to use animateMotion to make an animation follow a path, there then is viewBox, which can get a little tricky, especilly for rectangles, after you have learned all that then you can also learn about symbol element, q element, use element and others, then there are the animations, which also have a lot of different elements and attributes you can learn, I wouldn't say thats not much, it takes time, there are not much left for me to learn thankfully, I just have to learn some more stuff about animations and text and I think I will have pretty much learned almost everything I need to know for now.
