BEM vs Tailwind Death match: A lighthearted battle to the (front) end
BEM vs Tailwind Death match: A lighthearted battle to the (front) end
Tony Barker (tonypaulbarker)
Which front end technology should we be using in our Drupal projects? Please note that no BEMs or Tailwinds will be harmed in the making of this session.
Prerequisite
All are welcome but the topics will be most familiar to front end and full stack developers. Back end developers who occasionally work with theming may find the session of interest too.
Outline
Almost thirty years to the day since the Battle of Britpop where Oasis and Blur fans in the UK did battle by purchasing CD singles, we bring you another epic encounter.
We will finally put to bed the debate that has raged on for many years in front end circles by setting BEM and Tailwind a series of challenges. Participation from attendees will be encouraged and respectful heckling will be tolerated.
At the end, a vote will decide the ultimate winner and the loser will be consigned to the scrapheap alongside the CD Rom and the mountains of lightning cables that charge phones no more.
Learning Objectives
During and after the session, we aim for people to
- Be exposed to some of the challenges and benefits that developers encounter when working with the technologies
- Get more from our favoured technologies and better tolerate alternatives
- Keep in mind the end goals that unite all open source front end developers
Experience level
