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.
