Seasoned dev @drmonkeyninja on being more caterpillar when it comes to code #FrontEndSheff

Big thanks to Thomas Baker and Nicholas Tsim for their presentations at last nights FES. Good crowd turnout too. Glad to be back into the swing of things.

Key takeaways from tonight's #FrontEndSheff:
βœ… use semantic html (no more divs all the way down!)
πŸ‘€ get your eyes tested

Thanks for another great talk @drmonkeyninja

It's important to be aware that accessibility is so much more than just screen readers. Surveys have shown that screen magnifiers are the most used assistive technologies.

@drmonkeyninja uses browser zoom, screen magnification and browser reader mode to help him use the web.

This evening we're joined at #FrontEndSheff by @drmonkeyninja telling us about his personal experiences navigating the web using assistive technologies.
Laurie is now showing us how to create an app from scratch using #Expo and #ReactNative. What a trooper.

"The fact you can be a *web designer* and produce a production-ready app is pretty cool."

Now for a history lesson… this may not have always been the case!

Kicking off tonight: @laurie.pitchin.app telling us how #React Native is actually awesome now 🌈

Thanks to Matt for a great intro to building Shopify themes! I'm feeling drenched in Liquid now β˜”

We'll be back next month, keep your eyes peeled for details πŸ‘€

We might be starting out dry, but by the end of Matt's talk we'll all be soaked in knowledge about Liquid, the templating language used on Shopify πŸ’§πŸ’§πŸ’§
