Exploring Modularized and Componentized CSS

CSS. Some of us love it. Others...not so much. However, we can all agree that maintaining CSS in production applications is difficult. It doesn't have to be. Together, we will explore the paradigms of "modular" and "componentized" CSS and the benefits they bring. We will look at methods and libraries available today that enable us to write scalable CSS in our React applications. And we will walk through multiple practical examples of CSS refactoring using CSS Modules, Aphrodite and styled-components showcasing how you can implement "modular" and "componentized" CSS.
