I really like Jen Simmons's videos on CSS layouts. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7TizprGknbDalbHplROtag/videos https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7TizprGknbDalbHplROtag/vid...)
Before this month, the last time that I made a layout with CSS floats were still in style. When I decided to really learn modern CSS this month even starter videos like "Basics of CSS Grid: The Big Picture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEnRpy9Xfes)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEnRpy9Xfes)" were over my head.. I'm a back-end developer, I'd never used Flexbox let alone Grid. As I watched Jen's videos I scribbled down what she was excited about and then started reading "CSS: The Definitive Guide (https://www.amazon.com/CSS-Definitive-Guide-Visual-Presentation/dp/1449393195/)" https://www.amazon.com/CSS-Definitive-Guide-Visual-Presentat... cover to cover.
I'm really glad that I watched Jen's videos first. Having some best practices in my head before I learned the mechanics of Flexbox and Grid helped crystallize everything. Now that I'm basically through CSS: TDG I'm re-watching her videos and getting even more out of them.
- Swizec 7y ago> Good stuff. Keyboard clacking during screencasts is a non-starter for me tho. Funny, I often get compliments on the clacking of my mechanical keyboard in screencasts and livecodings. Creates a soothing background noise.
- miiiiiike 7y agoClacks drive me up the wall. Having a table mounted mic in a podcast gets to me too. I can't concentrate if I keep hearing elbows hitting a table through a mic stand. It's more editing work but I like to split out the screen recording, VO, and PTC. Bonus, you can get rid of jump cuts and other weird edits by cutting to the screen recording just before you messed up your line.
- Swizec 7y agoWhat’s VO and PTC? My mic is on a boom with a shock mount so the clacks really are just mellow background noise. I hate the loud bangs too.
- 0xffff2 7y agoVO -> Voice Over I assume. No idea what PTC is.
- mkl 7y agoI think it's "Piece to Camera", which took quite some digging to find!
- danpeddle 7y agoPush to chat, no?
- mkl 7y agoThe context is video creation: "It's more editing work but I like to split out the screen recording, VO, and PTC." Piece to camera is talking directly to the camera, unlike a voice over while showing something else. Makes sense to me, but I'm guessing a bit. How would "push to chat" fit in? I don't recognise it.
- danpeddle 7y agoWas thinking in context of gated voices, background noise etc. Think it’s actually push to talk, so I’m not right on reflection.
- miiiiiike 7y agoYep. PTC is Piece to Camera and VO is Voice Over.
- baddox 7y agoI was thinking it's odd because, in the one video from this article I watched, the keyboard sounds were among the quietest and least noticeable I've ever encountered.
