We’re standing at the threshold of an entirely new era in digital design—one in which, rather than hacking layouts together, we can actually describe layouts directly. The benefits will touch everything from prototyping to custom art direction to responsive design. In this visionary talk, rooted in years of practical experience, Jen Simmons shows you how to understand what’s different, learn to think through multiple stages of flexibility, and let go of pixel constraints forever.

  1. jen simmons has been a saving grace for learning about layout for web design for me. fantastic content all around. love the audience whistle at flash appearing on screen lmao

  2. This is a good evolution of thought from a design perspective. I used CSS, JavaScript (Livescript), in mid to late 90's to achieve a lot of what is talked about and some methods in the 2000's was used much earlier. If you ever had the chance to see DepecheMode.com during the 90's was eye opening on what was feasible. Still a great video.

  3. Very good summary of all i guess. I'm new learning webdesign right know, next month it will be responsive webdesign. It will be intresting if there will be the old system or flex and grid will be intruduced or just this media querry that i still have looked so far… becouse flex i have found on my own and i'm trying it right now. Grid seems to complex at the moment by i have it in mind for the future.

  4. The Intrinsic Web. So glad I came out of retirement to learn all this amazing stuff. Brilliant presentation. It's not often someone sees the future coming and says look, there it is, get ready.

  5. Jen is awesome. I'd love to work for her, with her, whatever. Such a great teacher with complete mastery of her discipline. Layout Land is pure gold too!

  6. Jen Simmons Labs has been hacked. Being locked by security software.
    Presentation is great. From the Geo-Cities days to the present. Comprehensive and encouraging.

  7. Why aren't there any comments on how good this video is? Web designers and front-end developers need to start using this stuff , instead of the same old boring, cloned, bloated-bootstrap bollocks we see everywhere.
