CSS-Tricks Chronicle XXXV

This month's roundup covers my activities, CSS-Tricks updates, and news from our affiliated sites.

Smashing Conf San Francisco Presentation

My presentation, an updated version of "How To Think Like A Front-End Developer," is now available on Vimeo (link provided due to embedding restrictions). Each iteration reflects my ongoing learning and evolution as a developer.

One Month Podcast Appearance

I recently joined Chris Castiglione on the One Month podcast. We discussed my coding journey, the definition of a front-end developer, my preferred resources for staying current, and lessons learned from over 300 ShopTalkShow episodes. A full transcript is available.

CodePen Enhancements

CodePen has seen several significant updates: a new "Topics" feature, a full-fledged Pen Editor for all screen sizes, a DEV sharing button, and many more substantial features currently in development. As always, we continue our weekly CodePen Challenge, Spark newsletter, and Radio podcast.

Front-End Conference Website Improvements

Our front-end conference website (a Netlify-hosted 11ty site) has received updates, including permalinks for each conference, dynamically generated images (SVG and PNG), and email-sharing functionality via Netlify functions. Future enhancements include customizable backgrounds for each conference. Community contributions are welcome!

May Job Board Discount

Our CSS-Tricks Job Board (powered by CodePen and ShopTalk Show) offers a $100 discount in May. Post a job for $199 (instead of $299) with a 60-day listing.

ShopTalk Show Guests

Dave and I recently interviewed Heydon Pickering, Jessica Ivins, Scott Jehl, and Guillermo Rauch on ShopTalk Show. Be sure to subscribe!

New Bike Acquisition

I purchased a Specialized Vado eBike to make my commute easier, especially considering the hilly terrain and the added weight of cargo and a child seat.
