SVG is an odd bird. It’s a code and an image, it can be lighter than most images, like the new Google logo, which weighs only 305 bytes! — Or it can weigh a lot more, many MBs.

Last January, I wanted to know more, so I attended the first online conference on the matter, thanks to efforts of the folks at Environments for Humans : SVG Summit 2016. The list of presenters was a joyful mix of animators and developers. They spoke about the use of SVG in their respective practices.
