Advanced CSS Development

Enhance front end performance by minifying CSS and JavaScript, removing whitespace, and optimizing images through web-friendly exports and sprite techniques in the build process.

See how Sass preprocessors add variables, math, nesting, and imports to CSS, enabling single-source styles and minified, cross-browser output through compilation.

Learn to integrate a third-party tool such as CodeKit or Preprocess into your SAS workflow to auto-watch and compile changes, with cross-platform options and cost details.

set up a project with preprocess and sass, configure SPSS, enable auto-compile, import module files, and generate a single cssa output to reduce http requests.

Explore responsive web design to handle device fragmentation by using media queries and relative units, ensuring content reflows across screen sizes while preserving functionality on touch devices and high-density displays.

Learn to build a responsive site using media queries and a meta viewport tag for mobile-first layouts, with floats and 25 percent widths that stack on small screens.

Learn how to use a feature-detection library like modernizer for progressive enhancement, generate a build, include it in your project, and apply css rules based on detected browser support classes.

Apply a border radius rule set that activates when supported, use Modernizr to test feature support, and fall back to square corners for browsers without border radius.

Explore Bootstrap and other front-end frameworks to quickly prototype applications with responsive, reusable components and easy overrides of default styles for a custom look.

Learn to start a bootstrap project using the get bootstrapped page or a downloadable build, including less or sass sources, CDN options, and a starter html5 template with responsive design.

Bootstrap normalizes CSS across browsers and provides typography and layout styles. It uses modular classes to style buttons with default and primary themes, hover states, borders, and padding.

Explore bootstrap's powerful 12-column grid system to design responsive layouts with container and container-fluid, including offsets, nesting, and column ordering across breakpoints.

Bootstrap enables rapid prototyping with modular components such as icons, dropdowns, buttons, and modals, plus carousel and grid systems for customized styling.
