CSS Architecture for Large-Scale UIs

Ten years ago most websites were small affairs, with perhaps a handful of pages and very simple designs. Today, however, the majority of websites are very different beasts…

There’s no denying that web -sites, -services and -apps are getting much bigger; more views, more pages, more layouts, more browsers on more devices, more developers contributing to codebases: it’s time we levelled up our CSS.

Topics covered

• how to assess, normalise, and rationalise designs;
• how to split designs up into discrete objects, abstractions and components;
• naming conventions and general advice for naming things;
• the ITCSS architecture for managing CSS projects;
• how to effectively manage layout;
• theming and skinning;
• how to use Sass to tie things together;
• and anything more you think of on the day!

So much to cover; so little time! Bring your laptop and your best CSS game and let’s get cracking. It’s gonna be fun!
