Conference season 2018 is go. Tomorrow I head to Seattle for An Event Apart. I'm also stopping by to do a talk for the Seattle WordPress Community Meetup, it's a free event and I believe there are still spaces. I then head to Berlin for the CSS Working Group Meeting and then back to San Francisco for Smashing Conf.
Smashing Conf are the lovely sponsors of CSS Layout News this week. The line-up for San Francisco is great, and a fancy cat told me that places for my workshop at San Francisco are close to filled. I'd love to see you there if you grab one of the last few spots.

I really enjoyed working on the Interactive Examples for MDN, along with folk at Mozilla and some lovely volunteers. There are now examples that you can play with for CSS and JavaScript, making understanding how things work so much simpler.

A DevTools for Designers – UX Collective
An article arguing that it is time we had design tools in the browser. I would agree. I've had good success in showing designers the tools in Firefox, even with people who rarely code at all, newer layout methods are far more straightforward to understand and play with. I hope we see more tools that let people work visually in code.
