Hacktoberfest Responsive Image Meetup

Event Description

Responsive Images

Whether you're new to Responsive Design or you've been building responsive websites for several years, you still run into issues with Responsive Images. Sure, you can use css to make the image visually display as you want, but if you're not serving the right size image over the network this is going to result in slow website, lower SEO score, and bad user experience. Whether you are looking to learn more about responsive images for a site you are working on or you want to help open-source projects by adding responsive images, this event will provide an opportunity to not only learn about responsive images but also do a hands on simple website project with responsive images.

What to expect during this meetup

It's preferred if you have a basic understanding of html & css, if not, we can do our best to help you out. Please download some type of text editor (sublime, visual studio code, etc) before the event. After an open discussion on image optimization, I will display a simple template example to create a web page with several images in html & css. We will be using beautiful free images from https://unsplash.com/. Then we will discuss making these images into Responsive Images. I will provide three examples, including manually changing, using a simple imgix API (no need to sign up for anything, Unsplash already uses this API), and then a third javascript example.

Brought to you by Hacktoberfest

Hacktoberfest — brought to you by DigitalOcean in partnership with Dev & Intel — is a month-long celebration of open source software. Maintainers are invited to guide would-be contributors towards issues that will help move the project forward, and contributors get the opportunity to give back to both projects they like and others they've just discovered. No contribution is too small — bug fixes and documentation updates are valid ways of participating.
