February: Kirsty's Excellent Adventure in CSS Grid

🎤 Kirsty's Excellent Adventure in CSS Grid

The CSS Grid specification is one of the most exciting additions to CSS, pretty much ever. It has the power to allow us to think about layout in ways we never have before. But many people still haven’t tried it out yet because the perception is it's difficult to learn or it doesn’t have enough support.

Kirsty is here to debunk these myths and instead take you on a most excellent adventure exploring how to use CSS GRID in a production environment. Taking a tour of some of the new properties and units now available in the GRID Specification, how to create complex layouts and explaining some of the gotcha’s and how to get around them. So that, by the end, hopefully you will all agree that CSS Grid really is Excellent!

Kirsty is a WordPress engineer/frontend developer at Human Made working on Enterprise level WordPress projects. She has a geeky fascination with frontend technologies, especially CSS.

She lives in Shropshire in the UK, with her wife, three cats and two house rabbits (also known as destrocto-bunnies!), likes really naff (aka classic) films and has a slight obsession with Stormtroopers. All of which are well documented on Instagram! 🙂
