What Google Learned From Its Quest to Build the Perfect Team
The main takeaway from this article is that there is no magic formula to building the perfect team, at least as far as choosing team members goes. Rather, teams are successful when there is a sense of psychological safety within the group. This means that members feel confidant that they can contribute to group discussions and let their guards down personally without recrimination. While this means that it can be difficult to assemble a ‘perfect team’, the good news is that existing teams can be made more content and more effective by consciously seeking to create a psychologically safe space within the group.

This page details Transform syntax, 2D & 3D options, as well as several other options available and notes on how to combine transforms.
Transitions & Animations
Transitions allow one to alter the appearance and behavior of an element whenever a state change occurs (:hover, :active, etc)

Both of these properties allow front end devs to manage behaviors that previously would have required JavaScript or Flash
