"CSS GRIDS" - fact or fiction?

Hint: As the first Wednesday of the month is close to NYE we discussed and moved the meetup in January to second week of the month. :)

Hey @all,

we like to invite you to our monthly meetup at the trivago office in Leipzig.

The talk:

CSS Grids are the new cutting-edge technology to modern frontend development. But.. we can not use them yet.. or can we? CSS Grids are a kind of promise, a brave new world for all frontend developers and we are looking forward to this since it became Candidate Recommendation by the W3C. But there are still a few things to tackle before it can become productive. So.. what will this talk be about? We will have a short look at the technology itself and see how it works and compare it to the current state of the art (flexbox, grid systems, frameworks etc..). Then we will have a case study how it behaves in the real world and what problems we need to tackle. So.. stay tuned and join us!
