Hands On with CSS Grid and Flexbox
Wednesday, Oct 16 1:00 - 4:30
Presented by Stephen FornalHave you been maintaining an aging website for your institution, based on fragile and cumbersome CSS for layout? Do you sweat bullets every time you have to add another hack to your existing CSS code base, waiting for the inevitable layout failures to surface? Is it long past due for a code refactor and refresh, or are you about to redesign your site from scratch?
This time, you need to do it with Flexbox and Grid. Your future self will thank you.
In this workshop, you will learn about the Flexbox and Grid modules. We’ll cover specs, syntax, use cases, and we’ll get hands-on with a variety of demos as we go. To conclude, we’ll build out a complete layout, based on a real-world page design, using the tools we just learned. And we’ll do it using a modern front-end build system, based on Node, Gulp, Sass, and Browser Sync.
This workshop is for CSS and HTML developers, and UX/Designers as well. Little to no Javascript required, no server side coding involved.
