Overview of this book

CSS is the preferred technology to design modern web pages. Although CSS is often perceived as a simple language, applying modern styles to web pages with CSS and maintaining the code for larger websites can be quite tricky. We will take you right from understanding CSS to designing high-quality web pages in CSS3. We'll quickly take you through CSS3's features, and show you how to resolve common issues so you can build your basic framework. Finally, you will learn about code architecture and CSS methodologies used in scalable apps and you'll explore the various new features of CSS3, such as FlexBox, to help you create the most modern layout methodologies. By the end of the book, you will be a master at creating pure CSS web pages and will know sophisticated web design techniques, giving you an edge over other web designers.

Usage sample – main navigation


Let's imagine that we want to resolve the classic problem related to navigation. It is in most cases inline in desktop view, but it is changed in mobile views into list element under element. Let's start with HTML:

<nav class="main-navigation">
    <ul>
        <li>
            <a href="#">First element</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#">Second element</a>
        </li>
        <li>
            <a href="#"> Third element</a>
        </li>
    </ul>
</nav>

In SASS code, we will use previously created mixins for media queries and clear fix. The following is the full SASS file:

@mixin mq($display, $breakpoint)
@media #{$display} and #{$breakpoint}
@content

$mq_small_only: "(max-width: 640px)"
$mq_medium_only: "(min-width: 641px) and (max-width: 1024px)"
$mq_small_and_medium: "(max-width: 1024px)"

=clear fix
  &:after
    content: " "
    visibility...
