The Future of CSS Today

April 19, 2019 by

CSS is evolving. What was only possible using convoluted JavaScript or preprocessors or CSS frameworks yesterday is now possible using pure standards-based CSS. Variables, animations, grid layouts, filters, nesting, complex math and more, the Future of CSS is today.

In this workshop the audience will learn not just what is possible, but how they can take full advantage of styling markup language of the web to build modern themes, plugins, and web applications which do the impossible using modern understandable CSS.

We will explore modern CSS modules and approaches including CSS grid and modern layouts, custom properties, filters, animations, and more. We’ll also look at how to integrate tooling like PostCSS, stylelint, and build processes into your workflow, and how these tools allow you to write modern CSS and take full advantage of what CSS has to offer while at the same time supporting older browsers and a diversified hardware and viewport environment.
