In this session, we will apply knowledge of layout specifics and CSS to create a new main view from scratch in order to give our application the look of typical social media.Jmix developers are backend developers, and one of the key advantages of Jmix is that they don’t need to use JS or TS to build web applications. However, many Jmix developers mistakenly assume they don’t need any frontend knowledge at all. While this might be true for internal apps, consumer-facing applications still require some frontend skills, especially CSS.
CSS can be complex and time-consuming, but there’s good news: starting from Jmix 2.x, working with CSS is much easier compared to Jmix 1.x.
In this workshop, we helped Jmix developers harness the power of CSS without the need to dive into stacks of books. Together, we applied layout techniques and CSS best practices to build a new main view from scratch, transforming our application into a social media-style interface.
During the first October webinar, Gleb Gorelov, Jmix Tech Lead, and Viktor Fadeev, Jmix Product Manager, discussed the theoretical aspects. In the next session, they demonstrated how quickly a consumer-facing app can be prototyped using Jmix. We’re confident that you’ll find this information extremely useful!
