We wrap up our dive into DOM elements this week with a look at how elements are laid out on a page. We'll discuss different element properties and jQuery methods to assist with finding an elements position, offset and dimensions as well as how to manipulate those properties.

Learn the difference between attributes and properties on a DOM element, how jQuery modifies these and how they are set in memory!

Following up with our sub-series into jQuery, we'll learn how to traverse the DOM, why this is efficient and a little bit of meta programming!

This week is the first in a sub-series where we break down jQuery to it's core. Build your own version of jQuery with us and gain insight into why this library is so powerful in modern applications!

People have been studying design for ages, but we rarely see much crossover in the design fields (e.g., graphic design, web/app design, interior design, industrial design, advertising, film). However, Web designers can learn a lot from other design approaches to create better, more inclusive experiences, and a strong foundation for lasting products.

When I first started mobile first design I used a pretty rigid template for my LESS files. All my designs were split across 5 or so LESS files named: mobile.less, tablet.less, desktop.less, etc. This seemed like a good idea at the time, but I quickly created a mess of impossible to maintain rubbish. I realized, I needed to embrace modules. Here is how I tackled the challenge of creating a maintainable UI library that was mobile first, responsive, and modular.

.prototype and .proto demystified! We'll cover what the "new" and "instanceof" operators are actually doing behind the scenes, and what prototype-based inheritance looks like in memory.

What is "this"? We'll cover context in this session of our JavaScript training series.

Join us as we cover closure scope in JavaScript!
