-moz-webkit-o prefixes

Greetings everyone,

I understand the concepts of prefixes for different browsers but do i have to use all three together when working on a source code, eg: for flexbox or transitions?

Thanks

In theory, yes, the vendors' implementations of CSS features can vary so you need to treat each declaration as a new property.

Remember that things move fast on the web: for the specific properties you've mentioned, check out http://caniuse.com/#feat=flexbox and http://caniuse.com/#search=transitions ... vendor prefixes aren't needed for the most part anymore.

When you get a chance, try the Sass course - you'll be able to write mixins and abstract away chunks of CSS so you only have to write those once (or not at all, if you use a framework).

With regards to Sass, we have had good experience with Bourbon Framework for Sass. We have completely moved away from Bootstrap, for the most part, and are more satisfied with the ease with which this works.
