CSS Architecture for Large-Scale UIs

Ten years ago most websites were small affairs, with perhaps a handful of pages and very simple designs. Today, however, the majority of websites are very different beasts…

There’s no denying that web -sites, -services and -apps are getting much bigger; more views, more pages, more layouts, more browsers on more devices, more developers contributing to codebases: it’s time we levelled up our CSS.

During the workshop

This full-day workshop gives you a whirlwind overview of:

• how to assess, normalise, and rationalise designs
• how to split designs up into discrete objects, abstractions and components
• naming conventions and general advice for naming things
• the ITCSS architecture for managing CSS projects
• how to effectively manage layout
• theming and skinning
• how to use Sass to tie things together

… and anything more you think of on the day!

So much to cover; so little time! Bring your laptop and your best CSS game and let’s get cracking. It’s gonna be fun!

Requirements:

• your laptop
• a text editor
• Sass
• Git(Hub) (optional)
