UX Vienna Evening Meetup at Lean Coders: The New Breakpoints (Vienna, Onsite)

At the February meetup we will visit Lean Coder onsite in Vienna.

Thomas Michael Semmler will talk about "The New Breakpoints".
For the longest time, we understood breakpoints as the moment in which our layout styles would no longer sufficiently work, given the dimensional contexts and a media query would intervene the specific point, at which it would "break". Nowadays, with modern CSS making intervention via media query more and more obsolete, our understanding of breaking points are changing as well. As we design more inclusively, we become more sensitive to the context in which our styles break: keyboard interaction, coarse pointers, motion and contrast preferences and diversity in reading directions. Layout is a fading concern, so we have to familiarise ourselves with the new breakpoints, now that we have the ability to address them.This talk is about our understanding of breakpoints, how we can use modern CSS to rid our code or more and more media queries addressing layout and what the other breaking points of our styles are becoming and how we can address them.
