Course Overview
Take your front-end web design to the next level by adding sophisticated, interactive animations to your projects
Do you sometimes feel that your web design projects feel a little flat? Lacking a bit of pizzazz? Do you browse award-winning websites and think "I wish I knew how to do flashy stuff like that"?
If that sounds like you, then the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP) might be what you're looking for!
GSAP is a collections of tools that enable you to unleash your creativity and write buttery-smooth tweens and timelines. GSAP is built for performance, compatibility, and ease-of-use. It's no wonder that over 7 million websites use GSAP to give an extra layer of polish and professionalism to their projects.
This course will teach you everything you need for a solid foundation in GSAP. Upon completion of this course, you will have all the tools you need to create stunning JavaScript animations.
The course is split into two sections:
*** Section One
In section one, we will learn the main tools and features of GSAP, including TweenMax, TimelineMax, different types of tweens, easing, playback controls, and much more. By the end of this section you will have a solid foundation to take forward into real world projects.
*** Section Two
In section two, we will apply our newfound skills and techniques to an actual webpage. We will work on the homepage of a fictional company called AlphaStar. Using various GSAP tools, we will make a variety of UI enhancements to the page to make it more interactive, engaging and eye-catching.

Explica cómo usar la versión 2 de GSAP pero ya hace mucho que está la versión 3. Esperaba encontrar algo de ScrollTrigger pero no lo hay.

The lecturer is knowledgeable and experienced in his field. The examples given are easy to understand and follow. I have learned the basics of Tweens and a timeline. The course itself does not cover the spectrum of functionalities for GSAP. I had wished for more timeline combinations and plugins (Draggable, MotionPath, ScrollTrigger, MorphSVG, Text). I had hoped for more elaborate examples, which are closer to modern web design.

Overall a useful introduction to GSAP, clear and articulate. I would have liked to have had the course end with maybe an additional video that gave a sense of direction for what to explore beyond the course on my own or to provide some resources for further learning or examples of GSAP in action.
