I've been able to find courses on everything touched on here. One area that I haven't been able to find anything is how to design in 2018 for backend developers. Not nessarily picking the right colors but how to take a photoshop design and put it into a modern framework. Back in 2004 we sliced everything into tables and made the width 100% and used the image as a repeating background. We pick certain repeatable images and life was simple. How is this done in 2018?
I’ve had success using https://zeplin.io/, which can generate styles from a psd really well. I’ve had some issues with inferring responsive behavior and other things that aren’t so clearly defined in Zeplin. So there’s still some back and forth with design but it takes away a lot of the ambiguity you would have from just looking at a psd.
“How to take a Photoshop design” should not be a task for the “Modern Frontend Developer in 2018”, because “How to create actionable, annotated design specs” should be a core skill of the “Modern UI Designer in 2018”.
