Issue 88

This issue is a little late going out due to my current timezone, as I'm in Seattle for An Event Apart. I've just come offstage after presenting a talk all about how to approach developing using new CSS such as grid in a way that still supports older browsers. This is very much going to be my theme this year I think. The slides for that talk are here.

I am next heading to San Francisco for Smashing Conf. Do come to say hello if you are at any of these events.

Edge starts work on their Grid implementation update

At An Event Apart yesterday Edge announced that they are now working on updating their CSS Grid Layout implementation. I started playing with Grid Layout based on the early IE10 implementation, which is still useful as a fallback.
