It's time for the second edition of the CSS.la Study Group, this time in Culver City! Our theme tonight will be algorithms in CSS. Huh? We don't usually think of algorithms when we think of CSS, but as we will learn this week, that's not quite accurate! Algorithms play a big role in CSS.
From the cascade to coding layouts to creating large scale design systems, we may not write algorithms in the same fashion as other programming languages, but we sure do use them! Let's take a look at CSS as a declarative programming language and investigate how we can use algorithms and algorithmic thinking to write more intentional, better performing CSS.
To kick off our topic, Lara will give an abbreviated version of her upcoming talk at CSSConf EU in June. Then, we will break into groups and practice both planning and coding algorithms in our CSS.
