CSSDay was held in sunny Arizona on December 3, 2016. The conference is
geared towards front-end developers who want to dive deeper into
advanced CSS topics.
CSS Day 2016 covered a wide range of topics for a one day conference
including SVG, animation, color theory, design, layout and more.
Throughout the day, a focus on code architecture was a theme. Attendees
heard a few different perspectives which were interesting to listen to
and compare.
Below are the available videos and slides of each session, including two
from our very own OddBirds.
The organizers and volunteers did a great job bringing the community
together.
Helping to plan CSSDay with my friends as a conference by developers,
for developers, has been one of the most rewarding and exciting things
that I’ve been able to do in my career. I’ve met so many amazing and
talented people along the way. It has been an experience.

This was the second year Brad Westfall organized this event. We are
very thankful for conference organizers like Brad and his team, who post
videos of the sessions, making this knowledge accessible for those who
could not join us live.
As always, we would love to discuss the content covered in these videos
shared from CSS Day 2016. Send us a message via Twitter.

The complexities of containment, overflow, and ‘propagation’
byMiriam Suzanneon
I spoke about Container Queries at both Smashing Conference (San Francisco) and CSS Day (Amsterdam) – where I recommended setting up a root container to replace most media queries. Since then, Temani Afif pointed out a few issues with that approach, and sent me down a rabbit hole of overlapping…
