Camouflage, Subterfuge, and Subtlety
50 Mins
Talk
Intermediate
CSS, that’s the Cascading Style Sheets variety, are accused of many issues, but none more so than their flexibility and power. What should be the factors that are the hallmarks of the CSS arsenal have become the main weapons the language’s enemies return to at any confrontation.
But rather than retreat from battle, let’s take the war to the enemy. Let’s adopt the clarity, reasoning, polymorphism, and statelessness that CSS’ enemies rally behind. We’ll learn to look at specificity, selectors, mixins, and even variables and discuss them in ways that can be seen as functional, and not merely fluid.
While immutability might not be an ally, we can certainly call on camouflage, subterfuge, and subtlety to win over our opponents.
