One question, do u know how to make grid system?
I want to go to a competition where i will ahve 6-7 hours to make a website with no frameowkrs, so i was thinking to learn how to do Grid system and then make it there and them im gonna have a site in like 5 minutes , the whole layot . Then CSS positioning is easy .

16,425 Pointsfor a competition on getting something up quick , i recommend the flexbox layout although support on old browsers is not so good
Konrad Pilch
2,435 PointsThe web needs to be responsive for devices and different browsers, i dont know what browsers, i usem till the old ones. It doesnt have to be super perfect i believe , as when i looked at thier site thier code wasnt the best, but
I have to do 5 pages in 6-7 hours and it need to be resonsive and browser. So how i see it is to spend making a grid system and then the whole website would be easy to make because positioning is pretty easy after making the grid. Thats how i feel using bootstrap . Im trying to follow best practices css e.g horizontaly centering absolute elemts , and all sort of stuff .
But im looking to win and do the best, so im asking how could i do it the most efficent way .
Oliver Sewell
16,425 Pointsthe flexbox layout is responsive it just doesnt work on some older browsers and u may need to use the prefixes im not sure you could check what browsers it works on but the flexbox layout would be one of the quickest options goodluck anyway , fingers crossed for u

2,435 PointsI never did a gird system or used flexbox ( two year ago lol ) and i have like 1.5months to prepare. it starts in november, but im not completely sure about how the finals will be .
Thank you :D , i will look at the flexbox later one. Im finishing my portfolio with WordPress/PHP theme now .
Although i remember i did stuff like column1 width 70%, sidebar width 30% and then bring that with jQuery and make it 100% last year when i was learning Pure CSS the good way or something like that . I ll have a look at flexbox xD
One quick question, i dont know really any JS, i did the basics, but i will need to do soemthing like carousel slider, would 1.5months will be enough to get the foundatoin of it? i know the basics of JS pretty ok , not whole basics but ould kidna understand the code if i look at it .
I know everyone is different but carousel would seem easy to make from what i hear so im just askig.
Oliver Sewell
16,425 Pointsim nott tooo sure , ive not really learnt javascript either , i think theirs a course here here u can make a slider with pure css so you could look into that , but im sure 1 month you could get the basics of javascript and jquery and make one it just depends how much work you put in and make notes to look back over. hope this helps
Konrad Pilch
2,435 PointsWell, thank you . We are not allowed to use any libraries to any frmaeowkrs, its need to be pure code.
Also, they give a paper where they willl tell what they want, so if they write Carousel with JS, it will msut be with JS.
Thank you btw for help ! :) Hopefuly the November one will be only the entry , and the finals in august , that way im gonna be well rounded in all .
Konrad Pilch
2,435 PointsGot my factgs wrong, its on June , the entries with HTML , CSS and JS Carousel and finals on November xd

2,435 PointsXD yeah , its there, thank you :D lol , they should do it in separate naming . Layout Techniques seem more how to position things not grid system xD but grid is positioning tho :D
