New series starting next week: introduction to css for designers
In my last post I talked about outsourcing front-end development and how I believe this is a brilliant solution for many designers. Nonetheless I also know that many of you may want to give css coding a try. For those of you, but also for those who don’t really want to get into the coding thingy but want to discover how it all works I am starting a new series to introduce the secrets of front-end development.
The series will commence on Wednesday the 22nd of April and will be published weekly. Through it I am planning to help you understand how css works, how to create your layouts with it and introduce some advanced features as well.
So what’s the plan?
We will start at the very beginning and work our way to a point where you will be able to create a simple layout with css. After that we will look at some more advanced features but the main objective is to learn css syntax, all it’s elements and then start creating css based layouts.
What are the benefits for you?
- you will learn basics of css – inspite of how obvious this sounds I thought this has to be mentioned as a first benefit
- you will discover more how it all works behind the scenes, this is inevitable when it comes to web design. A knowledge of css, even if you don’t use it and still decide on using a front-end developer will make you more confident with designing for the web
- it will hopefully be fun and I will do my best to make that happen
I have to stress one thing, the series will not teach you everything. It will prepare you for further exploration of front-end development techniques. Although it will give you a good, solid base on which you will still have to build, everyday. But the fact is, this is what I do and have been doing for years as well.
