New Smashing Online Workshops Covering CSS, HTML Email, Vue.js And Next.js

Smashing Magazine is rolling out a fresh batch of online workshops for front-end developers and designers, running from November 2022 through April 2023. The sessions are designed for practical learning: each workshop is split into 2.5-hour segments spread over multiple days, leaving room for questions, screen sharing and direct feedback during live sessions. All recordings and workshop materials are included, so participants can revisit the content after each session.

What To Expect From The Sessions

The team has reworked the online workshop format to counter Zoom fatigue. Events run live over several weeks rather than in a single long block, and each daily chunk is capped at 2.5 hours. That structure is meant to give participants time to digest the material, take breaks, and ask questions without the pressure of a full-day webinar.

Workshops focus on practical examples and techniques rather than passive talks. Attendees can expect interactive exercises, live conversations, and sometimes group work or homework. The environment is intentionally kept inclusive and low-pressure, with ample room for discussion and feedback. If a session is missed, the video recordings are available to catch up on the same day.

Key Highlights

  • Multiple-day format with 2.5h-sessions.
  • Daily opportunities for live Q&A.
  • Hands-on exercises with dozens of practical examples.
  • All workshop materials and session recordings provided.
  • Workshops are geared exclusively toward frontend & UX.
  • Bundle discounts: save $250 on select workshop bundles.

Bonus Free Community Meetups

Alongside the paid workshops, Smashing is hosting a couple of free online events open to everyone:

  • A Smashing Hour with Sara Soueidan — a 1-hour discussion covering SVG, design systems, accessibility and more.
  • Smashing Meets on Design Systems — a live session on theming and best practices with Hayley Hughes, Brad Frost and Dan Mall.

Details and registration for all events are available on the Smashing Conf workshop page.
