Here we take a graphical object or shape that will be painted onto the background through a mask, thus completely or partially masking out parts of the object.

In this tutorial we’re going to cover all the fundamentals of coding SVGs by hand, but I’m not going to bore you with a dry lecture that just trots out the relevant shapes and attributes.

Typically, when we set out to create a new blog, there’s a certain degree of complexity to be considered. What kind of database will you require? Will you need PHP, Node.js, mySQL?
