Email has often been overlooked as simplistic, outdated and limited but with modern webkit based email clients accounting for over 60% of opens the possibilities have really opened up. The new age of email is a fully interactive experience based in modern CSS (with a solid fallback for Outlook). Some of the things we've been seeing in recent emails include: Tabbed layouts, Image galleries, Multiple pages, Price calculations, Analytics on interactions, Games, Live content & 3D CSS. We'll look over the code behind these whilst covering: A brief overview of current CSS support in email clients, Detecting interaction with CSS, Basic interactions - The Checkbox Hack, Advanced interactions - Introduction to Punched Card Coding
