Harry Roberts on “CSS Architecture for Large-Scale UIs” (April 4th, San Francisco)

Ten years ago most websites were small affairs, with perhaps a handful of pages and very simple designs. Today, - however, -the majority of websites are very different beasts…

€499,00

There’s no denying that web -sites, -services and -apps are getting much bigger; more views, more pages, more layouts, more browsers on more devices, more developers contributing to codebases: it’s time we levelled up our CSS.

This Full-Day Workshop Shall Give A Whirlwind Overview Of:

  • How to assess, normalise, and rationalise designs,
  • How to split designs up into discrete objects, abstractions and components,
  • Naming conventions and general advice for naming things,
  • The ITCSS architecture for managing CSS projects,
  • How to effectively manage layout,
  • Theming and skinning,
  • How to use Sass to tie things together,
  • And anything more you think of on the day!
