Freitag 16:19 – Jhey Tompkins at CSS-Tricks
My path to learning CSS was a little unorthodox. I didn’t start as a front-end developer. I was a Java developer. In fact, my earliest recollections of CSS were picking colors for things in Visual Studio. It wasn’t until later that I got to tackle and find my love for the front end. And exploring CSS came later. When it did, it was around the time CSS3 was taking off. 3D and animation were the cool kids on the block. … Read article “CSS in 3D: Learning to Think in Cubes Instead of Boxes” The post CSS in 3D: Learning to Think in Cubes Instead of Boxes appeared first on CSS-Tricks.

Donnerstag 16:49 – Matthew Williams at CSS-Tricks
Sometimes, when you’re looking for a quick answer, it’s really useful to have an FAQ system in place, rather than waiting for someone to respond to a question. Wouldn’t it be great if Slack could just answer these FAQs for us? In this tutorial, we’re going to be making just that: a slash command for Slack that will answer user FAQs. We’ll be storing our answers in FaunaDB, using FQL to search the database, and utilising a Netlify function … Read article “Create an FAQ Slack app with Netlify functions and FaunaDB” The post Create an FAQ Slack app with Netlify functions and FaunaDB appeared firs … - Getting Started With Next.js
Donnerstag 13:00 – at Articles on Smashing Magazine — For Web Designers And Developers
Next.js is a React framework that is bound to ease your life as a React developer by abstracting away the common and redundant tasks (such as routing) into relatively simpler and powerful APIs. That way, you can focus on writing your apps instead of reinventing the wheel. - A Primer on the Different Types of Browser Storage
Mittwoch 16:41 – Ido Shamun at CSS-Tricks
In back-end development, storage is a common part of the job. Application data is stored in databases, files in object storage, transient data in caches… there are seemingly endless possibilities for storing any sort of data. But data storage isn’t limited only to the back end. The front end (the browser) is equipped with many options to store data as well. We can boost our application performance, save user preferences, keep the application state across multiple sessions, or even different … Read article “A Primer on the Different Types of Browser Storage” The post A Primer on the Different T … - xm
Mittwoch 16:37 – Chris Coyier at CSS-Tricks
This is a neat little HTML preprocessor from Giuseppe Gurgone. It has very few features, but one of them is HTML includes, which is something I continue to be baffled that HTML doesn’t support natively. There are loads of ways to handle it. I think it’s silly that it’s been consistently needed for decades and HTML could evolve to support it but hasn’t. So anyway, enter another option for handling it.📢 Today I am open sourcing ✨ ₪… Read article “xm”

Mittwoch 1:40 – Chris Coyier at CSS-Tricks
The topical idea of “how to think like a front-end developer” began for me as a series of podcast interviews on ShopTalk Show. That was in preparation for a talk I was preparing (and gave) of the same name. That talk evolved into my essay The Great Divide, which evolved into the essay The Widening Responsibility for Front-End Developers. But also, this entire site is loosely themed “how to think like a front-end developer”.

Dienstag 22:41 – Geoff Graham at CSS-Tricks
Last year’s State of CSS Survey yielded interesting results. There’s the quick adoption of features, like calc() and CSS custom properties. There’s also the overwhelming opinion that CSS is fun to write even as we see a growing reliance on CSS-in JS. We also saw some predictable results, like the proliferation of VS Code as a preferred code editor, the dominance of flexbox as a layout model, as well as BEM and Sass being the most adopted … Read article “Announcing the 2020 State of CSS Survey” The post Announcing the 2020 State of CSS Survey appeared first on CSS-Tricks.

Dienstag 20:28 – Chris Coyier at CSS-Tricks
Looks like the word “durable” is an emerging term in the world of serverless. As I understand it, it’s like allowing for state in places you wouldn’t normally expect to have it. For example, you call some cloud function and run some JavaScript… unless you have it go get some data from elsewhere, it has no information other than it’s own code. It doesn’t remember what happened last time it ran. It’s a clean slate each time. But let’s say … Read article ““Durable”” The post “Durable” appeared first on CSS-Tricks.

Dienstag 0:21 – Chris Coyier at CSS-Tricks
Lea has some words: Perusing the components on webcomponents.org fills me with anxiety, and I’m perfectly comfortable writing JS — I write JS for a living! What hope do those who can’t write JS have? Using a custom element from the directory often needs to be preceded by a ritual of npm flugelhorn, import clownshoes, build quux, all completely unapologetically because “here is my truckload of dependencies, yeah, what”. Many steps are even omitted, likely because they are “obvious”. … Read article “The failed promise of Web Components” The post The failed promise of Web Components appeared firs … - Handling Continuous Integration And Delivery With GitHub Actions
