[Js-Craft #18] Z-index, fullscreen elements, CSS units, CSS revert value and more

DanielJune 29, 2021June 29, 2021

After some months of absence, I am really excited about rebooting the JsCraft newsletter. In this edition of the newsletter, we have a selection of the top new articles published in the past few months, the CSS grid video series, and plans for the future. Let's go!

New articles publised on JsCraft

In the past ten weeks, I've tried to maintain a fixed publishing schedule of 4 articles per week. This means over 40 new Javascript and CSS posts. Below is a selection of my favorite newly published articles:

• Small Javascript things I did not know until today
• What are Progressive JPEGs and how they can improve our web pages?
  
• How to remove unused JS and CSS with the Coverage tab from Dev Tools
• Notes about the z-index
• Making an element fullscreen with Javascript
• Know your size – CSS Units Explained: Part 1 pixels, percentages and viewpoints units
• The best two things I use to improve my productivity and work happiness
• The CSS revert value – setting the default value for CSS properties
  
• Know your size – CSS Units Explained: Part 2 REMs and EMs

You can view a full set of articles on the site.

The CSS Grid video series

I have also started a new collection of short video tutorials. This one centers on how to build a responsive layout with CSS Grid. There are four videos published (part 1, part 2, part 3, and part 4) and two more will come the next week.

What to expect in the folowing months

So far the 4 short posts per week turned out to be a good experiment for me. They make up a good balance between maintaining this site, my day-to-day job, and learning new stuff. Finding a good balance between all of them while making things enjoyable is one of my main challenges. But this schedule seems a good fit.

Therefore, expect a daily article from Tuesday to Friday and this newsletter every 2 weeks. Let me know what you think. The replies to this email will go directly to my inbox.

That's all for now, folks! Be safe, be kind, and keep coding!
