There are a lot of CSS units available at the moment and we mostly still rely on pixels and (r)ems for our sizing and fonts. I say it’s time to do a little freshening up. Instead of writing a list of which units are available in CSS that you can easily find on MDN as well, I thought I’d give some examples on where they could come in handy.

Going beyond pixels and (r)ems in CSS

To optimize project effeciency and to ensure a good communication between teams, we need contracts for our APIs. In this article, I will explain what the OpenAPI specification is and how it can help us to create contracts for our RESTful APIs.

OpenAPI, a contract for RESTFul APIs

OpenAPI allows us to improve effeciency between teams and interdependent projects. It allows us to describe our API in a single document. In this part of the series, we will take you through the most important parts of an OpenAPI document.

Let me introduce you to OpenAPI

How would you incorporate OpenAPI within your project? In this chapter, we'll explore the two main approaches to using OpenAPI and the benefits of each workflow.

OpenAPI, the equalizer of API providers and consumers

Because the OpenAPI specification is a specification, just like the EcmaScript, HTML or CSS specification, we can reliably build tooling upon it. This tooling allows us to optimise our OpenAPI workflows and let us save precious time.

Unless you have no affinity with CSS at all or have been living under a rock for the last year, you should have noticed that new CSS features are skyrocketing like never before. Although this is a good thing, it might get frustrating to get a grasp on all these new playthings because every time you add something new in your styling toolbox, the next best thing is just around the corner.
