The focus of today's show is the divisive topic of CSS. There are many different opinions on the strengths, weaknesses, and value of CSS, and to explore this in some detail, we are lucky enough to have Josh Comeau join us on our extended panel! One of the strongest messages that comes through from our discussion is the amount of time and effort that CSS requires you to invest, to reap its benefits. And while not every developer will agree to this exchange, it is hard to argue that certain parts of CSS can make this a worthwhile endeavor. We talk about the ever-increasing complexity of CSS and how this has occurred over time as the language has been added to. We also get into our favorite parts and features, looking at variables, current color, and a whole lot more. So, to hear it all from our team and our great guest, Josh Comeau, be sure to listen in with us today, on Enjoy the Vue! Key Points From This Episode: Opening remarks about CSS and thoughts on overcoming its challenges. How continually adding to the CSS language has increased its complexity over time. Weighing the best and worst additions to CSS: exciting features and things that have not worked so well. The original intentions for CSS and its place among other tools for web development. The difficulties with improving your CSS skills and the issue of the lack of error messages. Favorite CSS properties: current color, variables, tricks, and more! The infinite possibilities of tooltips. Tackling the issues of absolute positioning through spending time with them. Comparing the different web browsers and the most frustrating bugs. Questions of specificity and the hidden mechanisms around sufficient information. Top recommendations for getting better at CSS and Josh's helpful course! The availability of great tools and finding the ones that work for you. This week's pics: the new MacBook Pro, Remarkable Tablet, Sweet Home, and more! Tweetables: “I started trying to really understand CSS. I really, really enjoy the language now. It's become probably my favorite part of doing web development.” — @JoshWComeau (https://twitter.com/JoshWComeau) [0:05:55] “I do think that right now is an incredibly exciting time to be a CSS person because so many amazing things are right on the horizon." — @JoshWComeau (https://twitter.com/JoshWComeau) [0:11:30] “That's what leads to that feeling that CSS is unpredictable and inconsistent. It's not. It's just that if you only have one of the puzzle pieces, of course, it's not going to seem consistent.” — @JoshWComeau (https://twitter.com/JoshWComeau) [0:40:29] Links Mentioned in Today's Episode: Table Caption (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/caption) Rachel Andrew (https://rachelandrew.co.uk) Firefox Developer Tools (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools) Improve SMIL "Parsing timing specifiers" instructions #722 (https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/722), Oscar Spencer (W3) CSS SpeciFISHity (https://specifishity.com), Estelle Weyl Stacking Contexts (https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/stacking-contexts), Josh Comeau CSS Stacking Context inspector (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/css-stacking-context-insp/apjeljpachdcjkgnamgppgfkmddadcki), Andrea Dragotta (Chrome Extension) Debug your website in 3D (https://youtu.be/BZAH8ZXhHZA), Edge Dev Team Learn CSS (https://web.dev/learn/css), Google Glamorous (https://kentcdodds.com/blog/introducing-glamorous), Kent C.

Igalia's Brian Kardell sits down to chat with Miriam Suzanne and Rachel Andrew about who works on standards
Rachel, Andrew & Kevin of Nervous Dater joined me to talk about their new album, "Call in the Mess," which will be available everywhere on Feb. 26 (This Friday). The trio out of Brooklyn shared their experience while making the LP and told some really unique and fun stories that you don't want to miss. So far there has been three singles that the band has shared to the world. We talked in-depth about Middle Child and Tin Foil Hat. We got to hear what to expect from the rest of the album as well. This is the most open Rachel has ever been during the writing process. The song reflects on Rachel's experience with gender growing up and some of the restrictions from gender norms. Rachel says that some of the lyrics are about the transitioning of identifying as non-binary. The themes such as depression and debt also pop up in the song and throughout the album. Tin Foil Hat is Andrew's way of putting a song out there about horror, paranormal activity, and conspiracy theories. The band has a love for horror and it can be seen on their album cover. The band's debut album saw tremendous success and the sophomore album will certainly make its rounds around the music community. There is so much more included in this episode. Give it a listen to prepare yourself for Friday! Listen to the band below and buy their merch!

Charlie Gleason, a designer and developer at Heroku, is joined by Lynn Fisher, a designer, CSS developer, and a software and design consultancy at &yet. Lynn went to school for Fine Arts, majoring in inter-media art. She found her unique perspective on art and design gave her a leg up in working with HTML and CSS projects in the mid-2000s, and from there, moved into working in frontend development. Her personal work has explored the creative possibilities of web design. A Single Div shows the incredible possibilities when drawing with a single div and CSS. The Food Place (from The Good Place), Top Chef Stats, and Dress David Rose (from Schitt's Creek) explore pop cultures through through minimal illustrations, and emphasize the flexibility of pure web development. US Flags [dot] Design is an exhaustive design guide to the flags of the United States, while Airport Codes demystifies the IATA three-letter airport code.

This is Jackie with another episode of Rethink.fm for you. Today, I have a very special guest, Rachel Andrew, who many of you may have heard is an expert in the new CSS Grid and is also a co-founder of Perch, which is a simple CMS application. Hi Rachel. RachelHi, good to be here. JackieThanks for joining me. If I've left anything out and for anybody who doesn't know you, if you want to introduce yourself that would be awesome. RachelSure. Yes, I'm Rachel. I've been a web developer for, well, a very long time. I've been running my own business since 2001 as a developer and now, as mentioned, what we mainly do is Perch CMS. That's our product. I'm an Invited Expert to the W3C CSS Working Group, so my interest in CSS and the open web goes back a long way. I'm just back from Tokyo where I was at the CSS Working Group meeting talking about all things CSS. That's really what I do. It's mainly Perch, and then quite a bit of speaking and writing about CSS. JackieStarting off with the CSS Grid, how did you get involved with that and what role have you played? RachelI just spotted it really. In fact, it all started, I was speaking at a conference and I can't remember what about. There was workshops as part of the conference. Bert Bos, from the W3C, was doing a workshop in French, my French isn't great, but he was doing a workshop in French and showing some kind of experimental layout stuff. One of those things was a forerunner to CSS Grid. I saw this and thought, this is something we want. Then I realized that actually there was a spec had come through from Microsoft, and there was this early version of the Grid spec was developed by a team at Microsoft. It was implemented into IE10. I got my hands on that and I started building things and saying, "Yeah. This is a really good thing. This is something we want." Really it just started from there, that I was very keen to promote it and to write about it and to get people talking about it, to make sure that it was something that got implemented into other browsers and didn't just end up being something that ... Some sort of IE experiment. That's really where it all came from is I was just very keen ... I'm very aware of the fact that web developers have got quite a lot of power in terms of what ends up in browsers, if we talk and write about it and make some noise. I just wanted to start doing that, to champion this spec that I thought really was interesting and was going to solve a lot of problems. JackieCSS Grid had its beginnings with Internet Explorer? RachelThat's right, yeah. JackieWow. That is very ... It's not something I would have thought given the history with Internet Explorer. RachelIt's surprising. I mean the team now with Edge and really going quite a long way back, there's been some great stuff coming out of Microsoft and co...

This week we talk CSS Grid with the amazing and great Rachel Andrew, who has been leading the charge with Grid for a while now. We talked about the origin of Grid, what we'll be able to do with it and when it's going to be ready to use (sooner that we realised). We also talked about how she got started as a developer, her work with the W3C CSS Working Group, and of course Perch CMS (my favourite). Our Toolstar is a CSS Grid Layout learning resource, Grid By Example (http://gridbyexample.com/). It's a repository of tutorials, articles, videos and resources for learning grid managed by Rachel (I don't know how she gets so much stuff done). It's a Bristol sound themed Jukebox this week. My pick is 'Glory Box' by Portishead, and Ben went for 'Black Steel' a Public Enemy track covered by Tricky with vocalist Martina Topley-Bird. They'll be added to the Relative Paths Alt Playlist (https://relativepaths.uk/altpl). The original Relative Paths Playlist is also available for you to code along to (https://relativepaths.uk/pl).

This week, we are blessed to have Rachel Andrew as our guest. Rachel is an accomplished web developer, co-founder of Perch CMS, a Google Developer Expert, an invited expert to the CSS Working Group (which sets the direction for how CSS works in the future). For the past four years, Rachel has also been the leading authority on CSS Grid, which is set to be supported in most major browsers in early 2017. We're very glad Rachel spent some time with us, and talked about both the past and the bright future of the web. You can find Rachel in various places.

Rachel Andrew joins the show to explain the what, why and how of secure sites. We each share real-world client examples, particularly in context with content management systems. Rachel specifically details how Perch CMS supports secure content, including using a paywall with Perch Shop. She also explains the core server requirements for secure content and details how HTTPS may soon be the default for all sites.

Welcome to episode six of DN FM. Through interviews, news and Office Hours community segments, DN FM aims to spark a meaningful conversation on design.
I’m warning you now, it’s a very different kind of episode of Unfinished Business this week as Rachel Andrew and I talk about our feelings on the referendum result for the UK to leave the EU. We talk about the issues that will affect us, you and our businesses in the coming months and years and what we’re already doing to help mitigate them.
Rachel Andrew returns as our guest. She's an author, international speaker, product is a web developer, speaker, co-founder of CMS Perch. She's recently been writing and speaking about the future of web design layouts: CSS Grids and Flexbox.

The landscape of what's possible in web page layout is changing. Jen has a theory that this change will be a big one — perhaps the biggest change to graphic design on the web in over 15 years. Rachel, Jeffrey, and Eric join her to debate if that's true or not, and to surmise what the future might bring. This special episode was recorded live at An Event Apart Nashville.
Everything about web page layout is changing. New CSS specifications will make it possible to do designs we've never seen before. Rachel Andrew joins Jen Simmons to talk about what's happening.
Rachel Andrew inspires us to understand people who are not like us because most often the products we design are not for us. She motivates us with her successful habit of GTD (Getting Things Done). She teaches us that solid attention to detail and ability to execute can be more important than specific technical skills. […]
Rachel Andrew—longtime web developer and web standards champion, co-founder of the Perch CMS, and author of Get Ready For CSS Grid Layout—is Jeffrey Zeldman's guest. Topics include working with CSS Grid Layout, how Grid enables designers to “do something different” with web layout, why designers need to start experimenting with Grid Layout now, how front-end design has morphed into an engineering discipline, learning HTML and CSS versus learning frameworks, and the magical self-reinventions of David Bowie, RIP.

On Unfinished Business this week there’s no talk about mugs but Rachel Andrew is back. We’re joined by first timer Richard Rutter to discuss his upcoming book on Web Typography, why he chose to self-publish and fund the project on Kickstarter and the role of a publisher in today’s market. Of course Rachel loves to talk about VAT (irony) so we do that and she explains why she doesn’t actually owe a million Euros to Ireland.
An inordinate amount of attention is being paid these days to complex tools chains, JavaScript frameworks, and the assumption that the web is an application platform. Has the web actually been taken over by this one flavor of site? Aren't we getting off-track when we act like nothing else exists anymore? What about the everyday developer? Rachel Andrew joins Jen Simmons to discuss.
Jen Simmons (@JenSimmons), full stack designer & host of The Web Ahead Podcast (@TheWebAhead), takes us through what is means to contribute to and shape the ever changing landscape of the web. Jen produces an immense amount of free content from speaking engagements & training to podcasting that have reached all over the globe. The Web Ahead guests have included some of the most influential people in web technology & design to date. Jen has had a major impact in the way we build and design for the web. Her uncanny abilities are almost akin to a unicorn in that she is extremely knowledgeable in both development & design. Good thing for us that Jen knows how to share her knowledge and help everyone have a chance to shape the future of the web.

A little later than advertised (and by “a little” I actually mean a week) I’m joined on Unfinished Business. Episode 102 by Rachel Andrew and Zoe Mickley Gillenwater.
The Boagworld show is back. And on the first episode of Season 11 we're joined by Rachel Andrew to discuss launching your own product.
On this week’s Unfinished Business I’m joined by not one, but two guests to keep me out of trouble, Laura Kalbag and marathon runner Rachel Andrew. We talk about the fallout from last week’s news that publisher Five Simple Steps has closed, what this means for other niche publishers and for the authors who write for them. We talk about how the abrupt announcement of the closure could’ve been handled better and the lessons we might learn to help us in the future. Finally, we break down how advances and royalties work differently between small and large publishers and the reasons why authors might choose a publisher over self-publishing their books. Finally, everyone involved in making Unfinished Business wants to say an enormous thank-you to all of you out there in podcast land who voted for us for Podcast Of The Year at The Net Awards. You helped us make the shortlist of the final five that’s full of brilliant podcasts and put a very broad smile on all our faces. Thank-you to our sponsors this week.

Rachel Andrew is an author, developer, and the founder of Edge of My Seat and Perch.
Page layout on the web has been constrained for many years by the available technologies. But new technologies that are coming in CSS3 — flexbox, grid layout, regions, and more — promise for an interesting future. Rachel Andrew joins Jen Simmons to explain.
Anna and special guest co-host Rachel Andrew, — web developer and Director of edgeofmyseat.com, the company that makes Perch CMS. They answer listener questions about working with clients, customers, insurance, work/life balance and subcontracting.
Our guest for this episode is Rachel Andrew. Rachel is a web developer, speaker and prolific author. Her new book, the CSS3 Anthology was just released by Sitepoint. She’s also the founder of the web development agency, edgeofmyseat.com.
This session will be a solid introduction to CSS3 by way of practical examples that can get you started using CSS3 on your projects today. Rachel Andrew will take you through some of the core features of CSS3 including advanced selectors, media queries and other features that are being developed and starting to be implemented in browsers. In addition to discovering how CSS3 will change the way that we develop in the future we will explore current and upcoming browser support. We will also see how it is possible to start using some of CSS3 in your projects now, with the help of a little JavaScript to plug the holes in current browsers. Rachel Andrew is a front and back-end web developer and Director of edgeofmyseat.com, a UK web development consultancy and the creators of the small content management system, Perch. She is the author of a number of web design and development books including CSS Anthology: 101 Essential Tips, Tricks and Hacks (3rd edition), published by SitePoint and also writes on her blog rachelandrew.co.uk.

What fears do you have that are related to your profession, or the profession that you plan to enter? Do you face these fears or shy away, and is there a way to turn them into a productive tool for your success? We'll discuss some examples and possibilities in this episode. Links from the show: Everything You Know About CSS is Wrong! A book by Rachel Andrew and Kevin Yank from Sitepoint I felt that this book had some great lessons to offer in the way of moving from a table-based workflow to CSS. The topics were covered well, and explained in enough detail for most to follow. The only problem I have with the book is the title. It lead me to believe that there is some new revelation in the book about how CSS code should be written, thus targeting avid users of the technology. After reading the book, I felt it was more a guide designed for those users who are NOT yet familiar with the ways of CSS. I would recommend this publication for those looking to get into the game of CSS coding as opposed to a completely table-based workflow. In the Bullpen: Photoshop Disasters
