Learn Polymer step by step. This guide covers Web Components, lit-element, data binding, theming, and building reusable UI components with practical examples.

Polymer is a library for building web components using the native browser standards. It leverages the Web Components specification — Custom Elements, Shadow Dom, and HTML Templates — to create reusable, encapsulated components that work across any framework or no framework at all.
