2018, June 27 jSTL Meetup CSS Grid and Flexbox

Let's face it CSS will never be quick and painless, but we can always make the process a little easier to grok. In this tech talk, Nat Sadoshima will cover two relatively new CSS technologies (Flexbox and CSS Grid) that greatly expedite the process of creating CSS that's more reasonable, more succinct to write, and most importantly more maintainable.

Never again ask how to center an element vertically. Learn how to avoid clearfix like the plague. Write CSS that's inherently responsive and mobile friendly.

This tech talk will cover:

The Importance of Responsive Design
Traditional Pitfalls of Sizing and Positioning Elements
Flexbox
CSS Grid
Troubleshooting CSS With Mozilla Dev Tools
Browser Compatibility
