Using Flexbox for Web Layout

Presenter: Eric Sowell

Through some of us actually don't mind using floats for doing web layout, we do recognize that it can be a pain. Fortunately there is Flexbox and it's a good deal easier to use and pretty well supported. In the discussion, we'll talk about how Flexbox works and then we'll work through a number of examples to show you real-world usage.
