[VIP] Design & Code Twitter Home Page with JavaScript, CSS & Figma

What you'll learn

Description​

In this course we will learn how to use the native web component technology to our advantage.

• Design beautiful web components for Twitter using Figma
• Transfer all those beautiful designs to front-end code using Lit JS
• Code light & dark user interface for Twitter home page using JavaScript & Figma

Before we dive right into front-end coding, we will first design everything in Figma from scratch.

• Not only will we design components in Figma, but also build a design system for our Twitter UI project
• We will design reusable color, typography, & shadow styles
• At the end, we transfer Figma styles to CSS variables

We will learn how to use Lit JS to develop native shareable components.

• We will learn how to encapsulate our HTML and CSS into JavaScript classes using Lit JS
• We will learn how to build simple future-ready native web components
• We only use pure vanilla JavaScript to create customizable components and scope our CSS styles inside each of them

One of the best practices in front-end development is to reuse code as much as possible. However, transfering design to HTML markup tends to be complex.

• We will use Lit JS to make our development life easy because it is built on top of native web component API
• Since Lit JS uses native web component API, our development environment is simple yet powerful
• That means we do not have to worry about Node Modules or JavaScript bundlers to convert our syntax to code

Who this course is for:​

• Designers who want to add Twitter Figma Project to their portfolio
• Developers who want to transfer Figma components to code
• Developers who want to create native custom components from scratch
