• CSS custom properties
• CSS Grid
• CSS Flex

What I learned

What I Learned Today:

• <picture> Tag:

  • Discovered and utilized the <picture> tag in HTML, a powerful tool for responsive image handling.
  • Learned how to interchange image files based on specific screen sizes using the srcset attribute.

• ARIA Attributes:

  • Implemented ARIA attributes, such as aria-label, to enhance accessibility in web development.

• Grid Layout:

  • Utilized the CSS Grid layout extensively for a project.
  • Explored less common grid properties, including the use of auto to dynamically allocate space based on content.

Code Highlights

• ARIA attributes

      <p class="price" data-item-type="strong" aria-label="Price: $149.99">$149.99</p>

• Picture and source tag:

  <picture>
            <source media="(max-width: 599px)" srcset="images/image-product-mobile.jpg">
            <source media="(min-width: 600px)" srcset="images/image-product-desktop.jpg">
            <img class="product-image" src="images/image-product-desktop.jpg" alt="Gabrielle Essence Eau De Parfum image">
        </picture>

• use of auto in grid:

  .price-container {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: auto 1fr;
    gap: 1rem;
    align-items: center;
  }
