Week 8 Completion Checklist

For the next 3 weeks, we will be looking at UIkit 2 Links to an external site. from YOOtheme. This week is an introduction to responsive design frameworks and the "core" UIkit functionality. Next week, we'll look at some of the more advanced features under "components". Finally, we'll look at UIkit's Sass configuration.

  • Video 1 is an overview of responsive design frameworks, with a few words about Bootstrap, Foundation, and UIkit, and why we're working with UIkit 2.
  • Video 2 covers installation and configuration for some basic web pages.
  • Video 3 touches on the UIkit grid -- it's a bit different!
  • Video 4 walks you through building a responsive navigation bar, with hamburger button and off-canvas menu.

HINT: Don't work too far ahead in what you're doing with UIkit in terms of customizing its look or integration of other JS library items. UIkit does a ton of stuff, and the styling is very flexible. For now, work on getting the broad outline of any web pages you create in place, and worry about the exact look and feel later.
