CSS Series: Positioning

What is positioning?

There are different ways or methods which allow us to put elements where we want, to position them on the document/screen. We can use display, float, and position properties. Today we are going to cover the position property.

Which are the values for position?

1. Static (default)
2. Relative
3. Absolute
4. Fixed
5. Sticky

Let’s talk about each of them

1) Static (default)

This is the default value for an element. Static positioned elements are displayed in the normal page flow. The left, right, top, bottom and z-index properties do not affect an element with position: static.

So, let’s see an example of this.

Hello, devs! me again! hehe! This is the third part of this ‘What does a {} web UI need to know?’, so, you missed the previous ones? don’t worry, here is the Interview Killer and the Junior (JR) parts, so, move on…

3) JR+ (Junior Advanced)

Here we are going to start seeing new things and also we need to start showing improvements in our previous topics, so, let’s start with a brief recap.

Previous knowledge:

We have talked about:

HTML: Structures.
CSS: Selectors, Layout, Box Model.
JS: Basic Language Concepts, DOM manipulation.
JS Library: jQuery.

All those concepts we talked, now should be a little bit higher than in the previous position, so, now you can have some errors but your code should not be very buggy, it doesn’t expect it is bug-free but fewer than in your previous role. …

Hello, devs! The last time we saw it was for this post (What does a web UI need to start?). Today we are going to continue with this series of skills required to be a web UI dev, from JR to Architect!

IMPORTANT:

All that we have talked in the last post will be almost the same for this because when you start working as a dev at any company with the previous knowledge, your first position will be JR (if you have experience and your knowledge is higher, you, probably will be hired at other classification), so, we are not having a long post today, but, we are going to use this one to clarify some concepts. …

Yes, there is a Simpsons-moment for everything! And this is not an exception!

Today I’m going to let you know (based on my personal experience, which means it can be different to other developers) how I think a Web UI developer will need to start in a company, the basic knowledge for a starter/intern/noob/novate/{whatever you wanna call them} developer!

1) Required (interview killer)

If this is your first time to take an interview, maybe you will be fell kind nervous, which is normal, so, don’t be afraid, just nervous! That feeling is because you don’t know what the recruiter is going to ask and if you are being able to answer that! so, I’ll give you some topics that they are going to be asking for. And one thing, there are some interviews that the main purpose is just leveling interviews, that means they are going to hire you, but they need to know if you are a JR, SSR, SR, or an Architect (if you are here, I assume you are going to be a jr, but…. …

MY OWN PERSONAL DEFINITIVE GUIDE

Hello all, today I’ll give you guys some tips that helped me to make some good progress in my career (as a web UI developer) and how I learned those tips (Good & Bad experiences). But, first, let me introduce myself.

Who I am?

I’m an SD (Software Designer) web UI developer with more than 10 years in the business, I’m not the best developer but I’m not the worst, so, if we want to measure it in a range from 1 to 10, I think I’m a 7 (Yeah, 7, there is a lot of things I need to learn), so, in this 10 years working in different companies and with a lot of clients, I learned (or I think I did) how to escalate positions faster than when I started, and this post is not just about to positions, is about knowledge. …
