Regarding writing habits, following the style standards summarized in the past has not changed at all. And recently, looking at the works of experts, it seems that horizontal rows are gradually becoming mainstream in large product projects. I personally think that maintenance efficiency is indeed higher in this way, and in the future, displays will definitely become larger and wider.
Usually my first step in maintaining other people's works is to adjust the spaces. I basically wrote the style sheet for the shape in the picture below. Only people like me who don't care about others are so sensitive to multiple or few spaces. As for the impact on the effect, you may wish to compare and refer to it. Code editors are relatively good at locating the number of peers, so what we need to solve is how to quickly locate targets vertically.
Example from August 2006 Microsoft.com homepage.
And I have observed that the recently popular design concepts such as rasterization and progressive enhancement can be well applied to style sheet design. Good code should be clearly graded up and down, left and right. Appropriate blocking and white space will help modular design and greatly improve scalability, reusability, and maintainability. In general, the following four aspects of writing are worth exploring and accumulating personal (team) habits:
name
Typography
Property definition order
Comment format
If you add various Hack syntax and private definitions such as -moz-, -webkit-, this matter is extremely complicated. However, from an organizational perspective, it is easy to think that they should be separated and called separately. The knowledge is very profound. I need to sort out my thoughts first and then discuss and summarize it when I have time. The picture below is a code snippet from a recent personal website change:
A few days ago, I used the Css3 statement text-shadow to successfully kill Chrome 2 twice in a certain Traditional Chinese language, and I had to downgrade to Chrome 1. It is worth mentioning that the text-shadow effect is very good, the light shadow even has a bit of ink feel. Judging from recent developments, browsers will move closer and closer to standardization.
In the foreseeable future, CSS will replace a large part of visual design work. In the future, web design manuscripts will almost no longer use the primitive method of drawing. In other words, in the future, the web visual design knowledge system will be further combined with coding. In the past three years, my focus of work has not been on page structure & performance. However, the prototype frame diagram still mostly uses HTML to improve efficiency, and is also all handwritten. There is no harm in practicing more basic skills. As for efficiency? Nothing but familiarity.
Always joke with colleagues who have bad habits, and be reserved when writing code. You are not fighting alone. Good code is still a work of art even if you open it with Notepad, let alone designing. The stylesheet is in the editor and is itself an information design exercise.
