Modern Css Layout

The layout apocalypse is over. With CSS Grid, Flexbox, and Columns you can design and build complex layouts that respond to screens of all sizes. You’ll learn about all the various ways you can lay out content using CSS and which ones work best for which types of content and contexts. You’ll use CSS Columns to make your site a joy to read and a zombie’s worst nightmare. You’ll use flexbox to gather the apocalyptic chaos into manageable, flexible order. And you’ll stuff wonder and zombie weapons into orderly rows and columns with CSS Grid. And then you’ll revolutionize your human resistance cells weapons strategy as you combine layout methods to create the best possible web site. We’ll discuss not only these layout techniques, but how they can be enhanced with writing direction agnostic properties, making the internationalization of your layout that much easier. If you’ve ever found Grid confusing or haven’t experienced the ease and wonder that is modern CSS layout. Now is the time to slay your horde of fear and antipathy and bring yourself and your post-apocalyptic comrades into a new and glorious era.

How You'll Learn to Smack Zombies Around

You won't just passively take in the view, like a zombie shuffling across the mainland. You’ll have plenty of combat practice with analogies, examples, and code tutorials you can build, break and fix again. Working with your hands and your head you’ll craft code that pleases the eye and knocks a zombie into last Tuesday. All the code and directions are provided as both codepen tutorials and downloadable html files, so you can fight the apocalypse how and where you like. You can work with them on the codepen site or on your own device. And later you'll bring those skills together in a final project that cements those skills into zombie smashing muscle memory.

Why Zombies?

Are zombies just a gimmick? Why would this be any better than a straight laced book that sticks to the facts? Straight laced books are often straight boring. And if you have insomnia problems go buy that book. The author, John, has read the boring books and knows that staying awake and engaged are also important for learning. But this book uses zombie references and analogies not just to make you smile, but to help the material stick. If a tough technical concept is related in silly terms you understand, like a zombie trying to buy gum at a super market, it’s much more likely to stay in that brain those zombies are intent on eating.

Come on a tour of “modern” CSS in 2020. This example-driven book demonstrates the concepts by showing code examples, screenshots, and diagrams to help clearly communicate the information. You'll start with the very basics of CSS: box model, colors, selectors and combinators, and specificity. Then gradually move through more intermediate topics - styling text, positioning, Z-index and stacking contexts, gradients, borders, and then to more advanced topics such as transforms, transitions, animations, flexbox, and CSS grid. Some features are only available in modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, Safari, and Firefox), but information about IE11 compatibility is included where possible. There is a lot of discussion about how hard CSS is, and how intimidated some people are by it, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Modern CSS uses a logical and understandable approach to break down and clearly explain the ins and outs of CSS. What You'll Learn Work with the syntax of CSS selectors and calculate specificity Use styling techniques, fonts and text styling Review custom properties (variables) Explore the different ways an element can be transformed Use animating elements with CSS transitions Position elements using Flexbox layout Understand the basics of responsive design Who This Book Is For Anyone who has some experience with HTML, and some CSS, but might not be familiar with some of the newer concepts like flexbox or grid. Also, those looking for a refresher in those areas.

CSS has grown from a language for formatting documents into a robust language for designing web applications. Its syntax is easy to learn, making CSS a great entry point for those new to programming. Indeed, it's often the second language that developers learn, right behind HTML. One of CSS's new features is the Grid Layout Module, which enables complex layout designs that previously would have been very difficult to achieve. In this book, we'll examine five projects that use grid layout. It contains: Redesigning a Site to Use CSS Grid Layout by Ilya Bodrov Redesigning a Card-based Tumblr Layout with CSS Grid by Giulio Mainardi Easy and Responsive Modern CSS Grid Layout by Ahmed Bouchefra Progressively Enhanced CSS Layouts from Floats to Flexbox to Grid by Diogo Souza Make Forms Great with CSS Grid by Craig Buckler This book is suitable for developers with some CSS experience.

Tailwind CSS is an exciting new CSS framework that allows you to design your site by composing simple utility classes to create complex effects. With Tailwind, you can style your text, move your items on the page, design complex page layouts, and adapt your design for devices from a phone to a wide-screen monitor. With this book, you'll learn how to use the Tailwind for its flexibility and its consistency, from the smallest detail of your typography to the entire design of your site. With CSS, you can do amazing things to the basic text and images on your website, and with just a little bit of client-side code to add and remove CSS classes, you can do exponentially more. CSS can also be hard to debug, complicated to write, and hard to maintain - �?� but it doesn't have to be. With Tailwind, you can minimize the amount of CSS you need to write, making it easier to control and debug, and yet still enjoy full flexibility and consistency across your site. Use Tailwind to build complex page layouts, add responsive design that adjusts to different screen widths, and dramatically reduce the amount of CSS you need. The Tailwind setup is extremely explicit, and makes it possible to understand the display just by looking at the HTML markup. Start by designing the typographic details of the individual elements, then placing and manipulating those elements in "the box" - the rectangle of space each element takes up on screen - using a flexbox or grid design. Move those elements around the page with helpful small animations and transitions. With Tailwind, it's easy to prototype, iterate, and customize your display. Use prefixes to specify behavior. Change defaults, add new behavior, or integrate with legacy CSS. Use Tailwind to make extraordinary web designs without extraordinary effort. What You Need: This book is about Tailwind 2.0. You need to be able to install Ruby on Rails to run the sample app.
