CSS Architecture for Large-Scale UIs

harry-roberts

Full-day workshop • April 4th
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.

This full-day workshop shall give 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!
