Learning CSS layout properties (workshop)

💡 Topic

In this workshop we will cover new CSS layout techniques including flexbox, grid, box-alignment, writing modes and many more.

🛸 Facilitator

👽 Justin Slack is head of design and front-end development at NML (https://nml.co.za). He is fluent in HTML and CSS, and slightly obsessive about typography, web standards, and user experience.

🙂 About you

You should have a working knowledge of HTML and CSS. Please bring a laptop if you have one as we will be doing some hands-on coding. It will be helpful to have Firefox installed for the excellent layout developer tools.

🏡 The Venue

The talk will be hosted at Codebridge Newlands: https://www.facebook.com/codebridge.newlands. Loads of free parking at the entrance of the venue!

⏰ Schedule

The workshop runs from 10:00 to 15:00 (with a lunch break in between). Unfortunately lunch will not be supplied. There is a Pick 'n Pay and a Woolworths Food across the road (100m), and the Cavendish shopping center is also within walking distance (500m).

You are more than welcome to bring your own snacks/drinks/beer/etc. There will also be a coffee maker, tea water and fruit.

🚐 What about parking and transport?

We have lots of free parking right at the door if you are coming by car or motorcycle. The venue is also very close to the Newlands taxi rank (500m) and the Newlands train station (300m) if you are coming by public transport.

💻 What should I bring?

You should bring a laptop (or even desktop computer if you are up for it) in order to finish the exercises prepared by the facilitator. We have more than enough power outlets and a super-speedy internet already set up!
