Basic layout objectives

This week we’ll practice concepts that still commonly puzzle new developers:

• absolute vs. relative positioning
• floats
• clearfixes
• basic media queries

You’ve no doubt had plenty of exposure to them thus far, but let’s take this time to wrap our head around them once and for all.

In addition, we'll have a field day with some major front-end frameworks including Twitter's Bootstrap and Foundation by ZURB. Their built-in grid systems and plug-n-play components are among the most common and well-supported in the industry; thus, becoming proficient with them will make you much more marketable on the job front.
