Geared towards design students or others new to the field, Web-Craft establishes a strong base in the fundamentals of front-end web development, and explores the tools and techniques of modern web design through guided lessons and tutorials. In the future, long-form article/essays will be published in the Journal, with a view to gain insight into more advanced or theoretical aspects of web-craft. {: .hN .serif .delta}
Web-Craft can also be an invaluable reference for professionals, as a knowledge base with a remarkable signal-to-noise ratio. The research that informs each lesson is applied to a growing pattern & snippet library, well-documented with sample usage. Fitting hand-in-glove with these libraries is the Web-Craft Primer: a downloadable template (built on the HTML5 Boilerplate) that establishes sensible defaults and mixes just the right components together into a well-balanced blank slate. {: .hN .serif .delta}
