Understand "responsive" design / dev from the start of your journey (asap!)

We didn't always have little phones.

So, at some point - we had to take some "normal" ol websites and "make them responsive" -- but now, that's just the norm. Websites are naturally responsive!

Here is a quick video that will set you up - with a clean mental model for "responsive" design and save you a ton of trouble when you build layouts.

It's for people who've never written a line of code, or 20+ vets who have been fighting CSS for all of these years.

Please let us know what YOU think!

How has your HTML and CSS / and layout journey been so far?

Thanks, what was good-

  1. Everything, already knew a lot of it, as I thought, but then-
  2. The codepen stuff- I've crawled codepen, didn't know some of the stuff you talked about.
  3. "So many tools being thrown at a project but..." great line, great perspective.

Well, I'm admittedly not a DEV, but I've been scanning through posts to look for beginner-friendly content and I like that the perspective you're taking is "from the start of your journey"... that's a good fit for this newbie-focused community.

Also, it's always nice to when folks embed video content.

Thank you for sharing! I appreciate how he demystified the concept! I'm in the middle of a course in responsive coding, and after experimenting with all the Flexbox properties it really has just been a matter of doing as many layout challenges as possible {:
