I’m Miriam. I have 20 years experience leading teams that make collaborative art & web software. As a co-founder of OddBird, Invited Expert to the W3C CSS Working Group, and member the Sass core team – I get to help design and teach the tools that I use every day.
How did container queries go from ‘impossible’ to ‘shipping’ after so many years? How do we use them, and what hidden powers do they have? What are CSS containers, and what queries can they respond to? Let’s find out!
While the basics look a lot like media queries – and can work as a drop-in replacement for many existing @media rules – there are some key differences to understand, and a lot more power than you might expect. Along the way we’ll encounter CSS fundamentals like normal flow, intrinsic and extrinsic sizing, value resolution, and more. Join me to learn all you need to know about using container queries in your web projects.
