Front-End & UX Workshops: What’s Coming Up

Live, interactive training remains one of the best ways to stay current with front-end and design practices. Smashing’s next round of online workshops covers everything from modern CSS and Vue.js to HTML email and accessible interface patterns. Sessions are deliberately split into 2.5-hour segments spread across multiple days, so there’s room for questions, screen-sharing, and direct feedback without marathon screen time.

The format leans heavily on live discussion and hands-on exercises. Expect group work, homework, and real-time interaction with participants worldwide. Each workshop also includes full video recordings of every session, so you can revisit material on your own schedule.

Workshop Lineup (September–November)

The upcoming schedule spans development, design, and UX tracks. Some sessions are free, giving you a low-risk way to test the format before committing to a longer course.

How the Sessions Work

The workshops are designed to avoid the usual pitfalls of video-call fatigue. Rather than packing content into a single long day, each course is spread over weeks, with sessions capped to keep attention high. That structure gives you time to absorb what you’ve learned, attempt the exercises, and return with better questions.

In our workshops, everybody is just a slightly blurry rectangle on the screen; everybody is equal, and invited to participate.

Every session is live and interactive. The emphasis is on practical, ready-to-use techniques rather than theory. Instructors encourage dialogue, sometimes set challenges or group tasks, and always leave room for feedback on your own work. Even if you miss a segment, the video recordings and course materials are available for catch-up.
