I’m a veteran designer who has always been fascinated by the code and systems that make websites and apps do what they do. I was around in the early days of the web so I’ve perpetrated my share of really bad JavaScript (and some really bad HTML and CSS too if I’m being honest). I really got my start in front-end work when I had them pleasure of working with Hampton Catlin, the inventor of Sass and Haml, back at Moovweb in 2013. I found Sass to be a very potent introduction to development because it was both an extension of my CSS skills but also introduced me to Rails and that paradigm of project structure and approach. Now I know my way around modern PHP, Rails, a little React, and hopefully much more Vue in the future. I’m also interested in SVG, Animation, Static Site Generators, and Pattern Library tooling.
I’m in the process of rebuilding my DIY php-based personal site with Kirby 3 and a custom CSS framework based on Harry Roberts’ InuitCSS. (Of course that means I need to create a Vagrant box that perfectly matches my MediaTemple server, which requires me to figure out how to update PHP to 7.2 on an old version of Debian, which requires that I ... so much to think about!)
I’m looking forward to learning more from folks here, sharing some ideas and challenges, and growing as a developer-designer hybrid.
If anyone ever needs help with CSS (any approach or flavor), hit me up. I love CSS and sharing ways to make it work wonders for both designers and developers.
Thanks for having me!
Colin
