- Describe one thing you learned in class today. Answer: I genuinely learned something about cotton from one of the presenters. I also started to learn CSS Grid. I will need a lot more practice, but it seems so powerful.
- Can you explain the difference between coding a web site to be responsive versus using a mobile-first strategy? Answer: Responsive scales down to different sizes. Mobile-first strategy starts at coding for a phone/tablet and going up from there. A lot of the traffic on the net these days are mobile.
- Have you played around with the new CSS Flexbox or Grid specs? What can you say about them? Answer: I have not played around with the newest specs on Flexbox or Grid. I will take a look at them this weekend since my dashboard is semi-finished.
- Can you give an example of an @media property other than screen? Answer: Sure! One of the ones I think I will use regularly will be
@media print {}which can be used to turn off the background image when printing. It will save a lot of toner/ink if the website is printed.
