As The Grid Turns: Next Generation CSS Layout With Rachel Andrew at An Event Apart Boston 2015

Since the early days of the web, designers have been trying to lay out web pages using grid systems. Likewise, almost every CSS framework attempts to implement some kind of grid system, using floats and often leaning on preprocessors. The CSS Grid Layout module brings us a native CSS Grid system for the first time—a grid system that does not rely on document source order, and can create complex layouts which are easily redefined with media queries. In Rachel Andrews's “CSS Grid Layout” session at An Event Apart Boston 2015, by following along with practical examples, you'll learn how Grid works, and how it can be used to implement modern layouts and responsive designs.
