Time moves pretty fast. A new year will be upon us soon, and most of us probably haven't even realized it. So while we're almost ready to leave the autumn season (and 2016!) behind, let's refuel our inspiration for another month and start working on our New Year's resolution list. Observe closely at the following techniques used, and how the colors have been applied to add contrast and character. As always, there is a lot to learn. I hope that these illustrations and photographs will inspire you to get creative and get ideas which you can apply in your own projects. Go ahead, don't let anything come in your way, and let your artistic juices flow so you can create something beautiful and unique yourself. Let's begin.

CSS Grid is becoming the new layout standard for the web, and we are all still experimenting with what we can achieve with it. Some folks assume that CSS Grid is just a replacement for table layouts or Flexbox — but that's simply not true. Some also think that they can use CSS Grid to replicate more advanced print layouts, which brings us all closer to what's possible. Obviously print isn't web, but we can experiment with some of the techniques from print on the web, too. One of the main reasons behind the idea of the CSS Grid Challenge was to have some starting points for layouts, and show what can be achieved with CSS Grids today. Well, we received some many great submissions that it was really hard to choose the one winner -- there are so many submissions who deserve to win first place.The post CSS Grid Challenge: Winners and Templates appeared first on Smashing Magazine.

The Laravel News site has a tutorial posted that introduces you to model events in Eloquent models and how to use them effectively in your code. Laravel Model events allow you to tap into various points in a model's lifecycle, and can even prevent a save or delete from happening. The Laravel model events documentation outlines how you can hook into these events with event classes, but this article aims to build upon and fill in a few additional details on setting up events and listeners. The article starts with an overview of the different types of events available on the models and a brief summary of when each are fired. It then walks you through the process of registering events and where to configure the event-to-handler relationship. The artisan make:event command can then generate the skeleton code for you. In this class you can then add the handler method and then configure it in the providers. Finally it shows an example of how to test the event, stopping the save event and using observers to group the event handling.
