[mdlug] CSS Lifeboat and Speedboat at GoLUG, 9/4/2024 7PM Eastern Daylight Time

[Steve Litt]

Hi all,

The Wednesday, 9/4/2024 GoLUG meeting commences at 7pm 
Eastern Daylight Time online at meet.jit.si/golug [1].

====================================================
Who: Steve Litt, presenter.

What: CSS Lifeboat and Speedboat.

Where: Online GoLUG meeting at meet.jit.si/golug [1].

When: Wednesday 9/4/2024 at 7pm Eastern Daylight Time
====================================================

If you haven't seen one of Steve's Lifeboat and Speedboat
presentations, strap in. The Lifeboat portion gets everybody up to
speed enough to do basic CSS tasks and formulate Internet questions
quickly. The Speedboat portion is a rapid moving demonstration of some
advanced CSS. The Lifeboat portion, which comes first, includes:

* Why CSS?
* Why not platforms (Node/React/Rails/PHP/Wordpress/Bootstrap/etc)?
* CSS Hello World.
* CSS basic syntax.
* Centering.
* Responsive techniques (to fit different width screens).
* Foldunder columns.
* Responsive images.
* Responsive source code text.
* Media queries.
* Optimal text layout.
* Header menu.
* Grid layout.

The Speedboat portion, well, you'll just have to see, but here's a
hint: It's something you probably thought couldn't be easily done
without platforms or helpers. And cooler still, it passes W3C
validation no errors, no warnings (except for warnings about closing
slashes on elements, which are harmless).

It's going to be good, so we all hope to see you there.
