Study Notes
Web Design - Complex Multi-Column Layouts
- Multi-column layouts require careful consideration of responsiveness, browser compatibility, and content alignment.
- They involve calculating widths, gaps, and nested structures to maintain flexibility.
Modern Layout Techniques
- Use CSS Grid for precise grid-based layouts.
- Use Flexbox for row or column alignment.
- Combine with responsive units (%, fr, vw).
CSS Gap Property
- Adds internal spacing between grid or flexbox items.
- Different from margin, which is external spacing, independent of the layout.
Container Trick
- Using a wrapper or container element to constrain width and manage content alignment.
- Ensures consistent spacing.
- Simplifies responsive design by centralizing layout control.
CSS Specificity
- A method for determining which CSS rule applies when multiple rules match the same element.
- Avoids conflicting styles.
- Helps maintain organized and predictable CSS.
- Rule order: Inline styles > IDs > Classes/Pseudo-classes > Elements.
Libraries vs. Plugins
- Libraries provide pre-written code for general tasks, like jQuery.
- Plugins extend library functionality.
Plugin Placement
- Always load plugins after the required library.
JavaScript and jQuery
- jQuery simplifies JavaScript for DOM manipulation and enhances cross-browser compatibility.
- John Resig, the creator of jQuery, is an RIT alumnus.
Java vs. JavaScript
