Hey everyone, hey, I'm out of the computer... hey, I wanted to jump out because I wanted to introduce this next section... the pros and cons of it... we're going to get into nesting and responsive auto layouts... you know what an auto layout is now... we're going to start nesting them inside each other, and inside each other...
and then more of them, more, and more of them, constraints... and it's going to be... like we're going to reasonably advanced, something quite complicated component... which is awesome, great to learn... it's going to be responsive for different devices... it's going to make it very hard for somebody to mess it up...
in your team, or your future self... there's a bit of upfront work to do it... let me show you what we're going to do, before I give you the cons... so let me just show you what we're making. All right, so this is what we're making, it's an event card... the cool thing about it is we're going to make it in a way that is responsive...
means it can adjust... and that exact same component, over here, is in a different format... same component but you can see, the layout is different... this one has the text above the early bird price, than this one... and you can see, we've even changed the early bird price... to be on the left and the right...
and it's super responsive, which is really cool. So we're going to make something that's kind of advanced... and the goal that it is quite resilient for other people to use it... we can use it... it looks good in all different sizes... and in the terms of this course it's going to be really handy...
to kind of get in there and learn... how to put nests inside a nest, inside of nests... and some of the complications that come along with it. We can do cool things with this... say actually, I want you to be the larger size... I'm going to go, you, and I'm going to say...
actually, be that larger size, with a different layout... but when we do this layout I would like this to be on top... or maybe we just get rid of it all together. So a really cool single component, with lots of flexibility... so there's like three reasons I want to make this like little interlude video... one is to show you what we're making...
because there's quite a few videos before we get to something really cool... there's a lot of, not boring, but it's, yeah, we've got to make some stuff... so that's one is, I want to show you what we're making... the next thing was, is I wanted to let you know the next few videos is... actually just mechanical, I call them Production videos... we're actually just making some stuff to use in the future videos.
So we're going to be drawing boxes and making real simple auto layouts... to get all the components we need... so if you're following along, watch them, you build yours... if you are just kind of skipping to the, "Give me the advanced stuff"... you can skip ahead a few videos... go to the video called Nest Multiple Auto Layouts, sexy name...
and that'll get you straight into the actual making stuff... and you can skip the making assets bit... but skip it at your peril... unless you're fine, you can skip it. The other thing I wanted to do was talk about... the thing we're building is going to be probably way over complicated...
we're going to spend some time in the weeds... getting this thing working perfectly... and being adjustable, and it's great for this course... because it's going to allow us to push our... limits of what we know, and what we can actually make... but in the real world, often...
UX, like good UX, lean UX is about... going fast, that's why Figma's awesome... it's about prototyping quickly, getting it out, and getting it tested... and into development... not making overly complicated... you know, components and variables, there are times for that...
but I guess I just want to throw that in here... because some people are going to be like... "I'm never going to be able to make everything like that"... and you might not have to... but there will be times where things need to be at least close to this... because they're going to be reused or going into a design system...
or working with a huge team with lots of people... but that's not everybody, and not all of us... that's the reason this intro video is here... let's actually just make the thing, and when I say, make the thing... we're going to make the things for the thing over the next couple of videos... and then we'll dive into super nerdie auto layout goodness.
