Today's assignment is to implement a pretty advanced grid layout using the new cool CSS grids. CSS grids will solve many of the layouting problems that we as developers have had to work around in the past โ Finally it's here!
Below is the grid that we will implement, first on desktop and then as a stretch goal for mobile and tablet. In the assets
folder there's image assets but also a pdf with some supporting lines โ also you can copy paste the copy from there. AND learn some more about Helvetica.
You can actually choose which technology you will use to implement this, either you go the React way or you do it in vanilla CSS and HTML. The main focus is that you should be using CSS grids to solve the problem. Have a look in the reading material on how to start using CSS grids.
To complete this assignment, you need to fork this repository, add your code in the "code" folder, and then submit a pull request on GitHub (from your repository into the Technigo one) for review. Read the guide on GitHub for more info on how to do this.
Learning how to think as a web developer is learning how to be an expert in problem solving. So whenever you get stuck start with step 1 and continue until problem solved.
- Google! In English, type in the error message if there is one, search within the language you're using (ie CSS, JavaScript etc).
- Ask your code buddies in your team.
- Ask your fellow students in Slack.
- Ask Bryan. Please note: we are part of a sharing community - share the answer with your fellows.
After completing this assignment you should be comfortable in using CSS grids in your future project. You will also understand when CSS grids are good to use and when technologies for example flexbox is to prefer.
Already done โ yay! Here's some suggestions of things to implement:
- Make the page responsive and work for tablet and mobile. You choose how the grid should transform.
- Bryan also talked about optimization. Adopt some of the principles that you have learnt today in one of your older projects.
