Software development
BACK-END
Sit in the back and play with APIs, Database, performance, etc.

- Accessibility
- Performance (Yes, we have performance)
- SEO
- CSS layout (pixel-perfect alert)
- Is it beautiful enough?
- Frontend frameworks!!!

- Learn CSS
- Use real devices (or Emulator) for testing
-

Reducing file sizes and minimizing the number of requests needed for a given page to load
Front-end FRAMEWORKS

- Performance?
- Not the next cool thing (not yet)
CSS Flexbox
- Dynamically distribute spaces between items
- Flexible adjustment of layout in any size
- One-directional flow
CSS Grid
- Two-dimensional grid-based layout system
- Keep layout consistent between items, with ability to resize automatically
CSS Variables
- Reuse values (color, font, size) across the application
- Easy to override on specific element
- Native to browser
CSS Logical properties
- Localization support (language direction)
- Control layout through logical, rather than physical, direction and dimension mappings.
This is the summary! 😉
