Save Big on An Event Apart for a Limited Time!
3.12.2019
(This is a sponsored post.)
If you could get one gift from your boss this holiday season, what would you want it to be? You know, other than the usual mouse pad, picture frame or, my favorite, the ol' coffee mug and Starbucks card combo.

Having a Little Fun With Custom Focus Styles
2.12.2019
Every front-end developer has dealt or will deal with this scenario: your boss, client or designer thinks the outline applied by browsers on focused elements does not match the UI, and asks you to remove it. Or you might even be looking to remove it yourself.

Simplified Fluid Typography
29.11.2019
Fluid typography is the idea that font-size (and perhaps other attributes of type, like line-height) change depending on the screen size (or perhaps container queries if we had them).
The core trickery comes from viewport units. You can literally set type in viewport units (e.g. font-size: 4vw)...

27.11.2019
You’re probably already at least a little familiar with CSS variables. If not, here’s a two-second overview: they are really called custom properties, you set them in declaration blocks like --size: 1em and use them as values like font-size: var(--size);, they differ from preprocessor variables...

27.11.2019
I know. You hate parallax. You know what we should hate more? When things that used to work on the web stop working without any clear warning or idea why.

Picture-in-Picture made its first appearance on the web in the Safari browser with the release of macOS Sierra in 2016.

Mirror Android Device to Computer
26.11.2019
As I continue my adventure into Android development, pair programming has been a huge help in learning this new platform. When it’s time to build and run the app, relying on the emulator is a fools’ game — the emulator is slow and it’s hard to reliably simulate gestures....
