Even tho it's 8y old, Sarah Drasner's famous "SVG Can Do That?" talk is still eye-opening for many. CSS has matured a ton since then (I'm less sure about SVG per se)... in any case it's HIGHLY recommended.

Big fan of her book as well though I don’t know if the recommended tools are still relevant.

Probably “SVG Animations” available through O’Reilly. It is from 2017. While many of the frameworks used have come and gone; there are a few stable concepts. If you can get it on sale, I’d recommend. Full price is a hard sell.

Appreciate the intro to the book above - two additional useful SVG books. I think O'Reilly has a few more SVG titles

SVG Essentials: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/svg-essentials-2nd/9781...

SVG Text Layout: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/svg-text-layout/9781491...

The fact there’s a book on just text layout helped me learn how much depth there is in SVG.

From the table of contents this looks like a book sponsored by and written to promote GreenSock. Which would be fine if the title was not misleading. Apparently SMIL is mentioned only in one chapter as "not suggested" solution.

GreenSock works and it's fine but I'm always deeply suspicious of any product that tries that hard to promote itself. If the approach is so great, let it speak for itself
