Front End Sheffield: Round 2

Join us on the 29th March for the second Front End Sheffield User Group, this time based at the Cantor Building at Sheffield Hallam University. Front End Sheffield is a bi-monthly event which alternates with Sheffield JS.

This month we'll be welcoming two speakers:

Unfortunately Phil Lennon can no longer come, but hopefully we'll get him over for an event later in the year.

Instead we'll have Katie Fenn talking about Writing Modular Stylesheets with CSS Modules. Composition has long been a goal of CSS design. Creating a rich library of styles that can be reused and combined saves time in the long run, but often lead to unmaintainable or verbose code.
Katie is an Engineer at npm, find her on Twitter at https://twitter.com/katie_fenn?lang=en

WebPack is commonly used for bundling JS modules, but its flexibility means it can also be used to load CSS Modules: local styles that can be imported and exported just like scripts.

This talk introduces WebPack and will demonstrate how to write, bundle and use CSS Modules. We’ll also examine their benefits, and why they can help in ways other tools have failed in the past.

Rowan Merewood is a former Sheffielder now Developer Advocate at Google in London, he'll be talking to us about Progressive Web Apps. Find Rowan on Twitter at https://twitter.com/rowan_m
