HTML5, for instance, has brought us a lot of really cool features to help users fill in mobile forms and format their data. We will see in detail how HTML5 attributes can help you with that. Then, we will go beyond “classic” form elements and see how to use mobile capabilities such as the camera, geolocation and fingerprint scanners to really take your mobile form experience to the next level ...

3 Essential Design Trends, September 2018

While this tends to be the time of year when things start to slow a bit in the design world, there are still trends that are worth paying attention to as you plan future projects. One element that stands out quite distinctly is the use of the color purple in projects. This trend deserves a mention of its own (see No. 3) but also note the use of the color in examples from other projects in the other featured trends as well. Here’s what’s trending in design this month: 1. Elaborate Illustrations There’s just something about an elaborate illustration that draws the eye into a design. There’s a need to see all of the details and understand the intricacy of each line. Whether it’s a “designer thing” or not, illustrations are an interesting way to draw users into a website design.

Using CSS Clip Path to Create Interactive Effects, Part II

One of the biggest drawbacks of CSS clipping, at the time of writing, is browser support. Not having 100% browser coverage means different experiences for viewers in different browsers. We, as developers, can’t control what browsers support — browser vendors are the ones who implement the spec and different vendors will have different agendas. One thing we can do to overcome inconsistencies is use alternative technologies. The feature set of CSS and SVG sometimes overlap. What works in one may work in the other and vice versa. As it happens, the concept of clipping exists in both CSS and SVG. The SVG clipping syntax is quite different, but it works the same. The good thing about SVG clipping compared to CSS is its maturity level. Support is good all the way back to old IE browsers. Most...

What is Conversion Linker in Google Tag Manager?

Updated: August 24, 2018. In June 2017, Apple announced Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP), an initiative aimed at limiting third-party trackers from capturing cross-site browsing data and it will be launched really soon (or maybe it already is? Honestly, I’ve lost the track). This might become a problem for those who are using Google Ads (previously known as Google Adwords) because the ITP will block cookies which are an essential part of G Ads Conversion Tracking. In response, Google introduced several ways how to decrease the impact of the Intelligent Tracking Prevention. Conversion Linker Tag is one of those solutions. Do you need it?

::before vs :before

Note the double-colon ::before versus the single-colon :before. Which one is correct? Technically, the correct answer is ::before. But that doesn't mean you should automatically use it. The situation is that: double-colon selectors are pseudo-elements. single-colon selectors are pseudo-selectors. ::before is definitely a pseudo-element, so it should use the double colon. The distinction between a pseudo-element and pseudo-selector is already confusing. Fortunately, ::after and ::before are fairly straightforward. They literally add something new to the page, an element. But something like ::first-letter is also a pseudo-element. The way I reason that out in my brain is that it's selecting a part of something in which there is no existing HTML element for. There is no <span> around ...

A Basic WooCommerce Setup to Sell T-Shirts

WooCommerce is a powerful eCommerce solution for WordPress sites. If you're like me, and like working with WordPress and have WordPress-powered sites already, WooCommerce is a no-brainer for helping you sell things online on those sites. But even if you don't already have a WordPress site, WooCommerce is so good I think it would make sense to spin up a WordPress site so you could use it for your eCommerce solution. Personally, I've used WooCommerce a number of times to sell things. Most recently, I've used it to sell T-Shirts (and hats) over on CodePen. We use WordPress already to power our blog, documentation, and podcast. Makes perfect sense to use WordPress for the store as well! What I think is notable about our WooCommerce installation at CodePen is how painless it was, while doing...

Using feature detection to write CSS with cross-browser support

In early 2017, I presented a couple of workshops on the topic of CSS feature detection, titled CSS Feature Detection in 2017. A friend of mine, Justin Slack from New Media Labs, recently sent me a link to the phenomenal Feature Query Manager extension (available for both Chrome and Firefox), by Nigerian developer Ire Aderinokun. This seemed to be a perfect addition to my workshop material on the subject. However, upon returning to the material, I realized how much my work on the subject has aged in the last 18 months. The CSS landscape has undergone some tectonic shifts: The Atomic CSS approach, although widely hated at first, has gained some traction through libraries like Tailwind, and perhaps influenced the addition of several new utility classes to Bootstrap 4. CSS-in-JS exploded in p...

5 Ways to Boost Local SEO

Let’s not beat around the bush, local SEO is hard. If you represent a business in a large city and you’re aiming for a top 3 maps business listing (the Snack Pack), then it’s even harder. You can spend many stressful hours tailoring every little aspect of your site, trying to achieve this and lose sanity along the way wondering where you’ve gone wrong. It can be a very lonely place. An important thing to do to retain your sanity is to be realistic and confront a few honest truths. no one knows with full certainty…who will make it into the coveted snack pack One of those truths is that no one knows with full certainty, how, or who will make it into the coveted snack pack for any given search query.

CSS Logical Properties

A property like margin-left seems fairly logical, but as Manuel Rego Casasnovas says: Imagine that you have some right-to-left (RTL) content on your website your left might be probably the physical right, so if you are usually setting margin-left: 100px for some elements, you might want to replace that with margin-right: 100px. Direction, writing mode, and even flexbox all have the power to flip things around and make properties less logical and more difficult to maintain than you'd hope. Now we'll have margin-inline-start for that. The full list is: margin-{block,inline}-{start,end} padding-{block,inline}-{start,end} border-{block,inline}-{start,end}-{width,style,color} Manuel gets into all the browser support details.

Testing Angular with Jasmine and Karma (Part 1)

Our goal In this tutorial we will be building and testing an employee directory for a fictional company. This directory will have a view to show all of our users along with another view to serve as a profile page for individual users.
