Talk Description
Web development is getting increasingly difficult with more devices to test and emerging technologies every day. In his talk Simon will be giving you a sneak peak into his workflow to help aid with the growing complexity of web development. Expect time saving tips, shortcuts, automation, dotfiles, build tools and style guides.

Talk Description
With the rate at which websites change these days, the code behind them can quickly become a tangled mess of
s and !important declarations. I will cover the benefits of writing modular CSS, the various patterns which can be used, and a few tips to take away.
Parking:
The Little Church street (https://www.rugby.gov.uk/directory_record/220/little_church_street_car_park) car park opposite the venue is free from 7pm. Alternatively, there is plenty of free parking around Rugby. We recommend Horton Crescent (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/52%C2%B022).
Train:
We're located about 15-20 minutes walk from Rugby Train Station.
