s.

Data tables like to break our carefully crafted responsive websites. On smaller screens they mess with us when they won’t reflow nicely. They a bit claustrophobic when they don’t have enough space. Stephanie will talk about what makes a table easy to read, show the code that helps, and offer design suggestions for how to display data when there isn’t a lot of space.

Stephanie is a Web Developer at Mozilla and likes to make web sites that everyone can use.

AFTERWARDS

We will head out afterwards to continue the conversation over some drink and food. Location announced at the event.
