It's time for the sixth edition of the CSS.la Study Group, this time back at Open Listings in their new office in Silver Lake!
Our theme tonight is ... CSS Grid! ⚡️ It's ready...are you ready?
Our wonderful presenter tonight is Scott Gruber! Here's a bit about Scott's presentation:
At long last after 25 years we finally have a CSS Layout system that lets us use a grid to achieve true page layout. The latest stat on caniuse.com shows global usage of CSS Grid is 87.25%. In this demo we’ll cover CSS Grid properties, feature queries and fall backs to support older browsers. We’ll demo how to use Firefox Dev Tools to help visualize a grid and play with several code pens using CSS Grid to code familiar layouts and to format a portion of page such as gallery of images or people.
Scott (https://scottgruber.me/) is a designer and developer building an ethical design practice grounded in accessibility, performance and aesthetics. He has twenty-years experience using digital tools to create across a wide-range of media. He works at the UCLA Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and is using CSS Grid Layout in production on academic websites today.
