New workshop: Advanced Modern CSS Masterclass
posted on
In my newest workshop I introduce you to the most useful modern features in CSS and show how you can implement them today in your code base to improve scalability, maintainability, and productivity.
About the workshop
clamp(), :is(), :where(), min(), max(), lab(), lch(), oklab(), oklch(), cascade layers, container queries, logical properties, :has(), svh, dvh, lvh, font-pallets, subgrid…How do you feel when you read these terms? Confused? Interested? Excited? Overwhelmed?
Well, yeah, that’s how most of us feel. CSS has changed so much in the last few years that it’s almost impossible to stay up-to-date.
2022 and 2023 were critical years for CSS. Browsers got together and began shipping new features week after week almost simultaneously. While that’s good news for us developers, keeping track of and adapting to those changes is challenging.
In Advanced Modern CSS Masterclass, a brand new Smashing Magazine workshop, I introduce you to the latest and greatest features in CSS.
What will you learn in this workshop?
- How to manage specificity with the help of cascade layers, :is(), and :where().
- New colour spaces and functions and their differences
- How to reduce the dependency of JavaScript for layout.
- Using custom properties to create scalable systems.
- New functions in CSS such as min(), max(), clamp().
- How to use container queries to create truly responsive components.
- The benefits of using logical properties and what they are.
- Creating flexible layouts using Grid and math functions in CSS.
- New pseudo-classes such as :has.
- Improving UX with view transitions.
- Applying the progressive enhancement principle.
- Using and tweaking color fonts.
