#### Responsive Layout
There are many occasions where I want an element on the page to move between two points. The navigation in the header of my site (at the time of writing) is a great example of this. So knowing the two points I want it to lie between and having the screen width as the variable, I can plug in&#8230; [<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-58" src="https://brandonrozek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/responsivelayoutequation.gif" alt="f(x) = (100 * (b - a)/(d - c))X + (ad - bc) / (d - c)" width="219" height="36" />](https://brandonrozek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/responsivelayoutequation.gif){.broken_link} where a is the start pixel b is the end pixel c is the start media query d is the end media query and X is the screen width out of 100 otherwise known as 1vw \*\*Don&#8217;t forget to keep track of your units!!

This is exactly like Mike&#8217;s pen, but instead he uses the equation to adjust the font-size between an upper and lower bound. You can apply this method to anything that accepts calc() and viewport units. Here is my [pen](http://codepen.io/brandonrozek/pen/JoQVEb){.broken_link} showing some use cases. To make your life easier, I made a quick little tool where you can input the variables and it will provide you with a simpler form of the equation to put into your calc() function [here](http://codepen.io/brandonrozek/pen/KpPwGL){.broken_link}.

#### Animation
This is where the majority of my research went towards. It&#8217;s not as practical as say positioning an element is but I find it interesting. Like, what if I can manipulate the acceleration of the function? [<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-62" src="https://brandonrozek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/accelerationequation.gif" alt="f(x) = ((b - a) / (d^n - c^n))X^n + (ad^n - bc^n) / (d^n - c^n) " width="202" height="36" />](https://brandonrozek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/accelerationequation.gif){.broken_link} Where a is the start unit b is the end unit c is the start time d is the end time n is the acceleration modifier and X is time The interesting part of the function here is the n. If I keep n at 1, then the acceleration is constant. If it&#8217;s less than one, then it&#8217;s fast in the beginning and slows down at the end. If it&#8217;s greater than one, then it&#8217;s the opposite. I also made a little pen [here](http://codepen.io/brandonrozek/pen/RNzdOV){.broken_link} to demo this for you.

#### Conclusion
Having a function that goes between two points is incredibly handy. Now when it comes to positioning, I don&#8217;t have to guess which values match the design. If i cant something to be between here and there fluidly, I can do it. What about animation? Chaining them together should have an interesting affect&#8230; P.S For those of you crazy people who like to see the theory behind the math, (like myself) I have my scanned work [here](/blog/2015-04-16-function-two-points-theory/).

### Conclusion
Animations are quite enjoyable. The last box in my Codepen demo tries combining all three of those animations. (Super Wacky!)  You don&#8217;t need to use keyframe animations to achieve this, you can also use the transition property. I used keyframes so you can better visualize what&#8217;s going on. There are plenty of other animatable properties to go through, so I&#8217;ll get started on those. In the meantime, if you want to look at some of the sites I used for research I&#8217;ll include the links below.

Animating the location of objects is one of the most common types of animation. It&#8217;s interesting to animate this way because you need to keep in mind how each of the element&#8217;s interact with each other to constitute a page.

### Conclusion
By animating the location of an element, it opens up a whole bunch of different opportunities. Using motion, you can signify that the user has indeed pressed the button, instead of what would otherwise leave them there clicking on the button multiple times thinking that nothing has happened. Using motion, you can bring a webpage that would&#8217;ve otherwise been boring to life. Use these animations to work, and I&#8217;ll be back with another animatable post soon!

I&#8217;ve been teaching a small class on web development recently, and after my first lecture, I&#8217;ve gained a newfound respect for teachers. Teaching didn&#8217;t come as naturally to me as I would have imagined. I tried going in prepared: with a few outlines and a few code demos. Instead of letting my preparation go to waste, I decided to share them here with you on my site. It&#8217;s a nice break from the Animatable posts, so I hope you enjoy!

Take a quick look if you wish. These are mostly to give an idea of what is going to happen over the next few lectures. What is HTML, CSS, and Javascript? We'll look into the different parts that form a webpage and how they all interact with each other.
## HTML
HTML is where the content of your site lives. It&#8217;s also the file the server returns to no matter what, the bare-bones of a webpage. This file may contain text, pictures, and/or other media.

## CSS
This is where you style your content. Whether it&#8217;s through colors, layout, or typography, there are plenty of different ways for you to visually manipulate your content.

## Javascript

Link the CSS file
<pre><code class="language-markup">
&lt;link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css' /&gt;
</code></pre>
```html
<link rel='stylesheet' href='style.css'>

&lt;p class='hello' id='world'&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
</code></pre>
```html
<p class='hello' id='world'></p>

### In CSS
Refer to any element with class=&#8217;hello&#8217; and change it&#8217;s text color to red.
Refer to any element with `class='hello'` and change it's text color to red.
<pre><code class="language-css">
```css
.hello { color: red; }
</code></pre>
```
Any element with an id=&#8217;world&#8217; will have it&#8217;s font-size changed to 2rem

You don&#8217;t have to only use the class and id attributes in html, you can refer to any attribute. This code snippet grabs any canvas element with data=&#8217;sales&#8217; and changes it&#8217;s border to be 5px thick, dashed, and the color blue.

```css
canvas[data=sales] { border: 5px dashed blue; }

### In Javascript
Javascript has many properties and methods you can use to reference different HTML elements To grab (an) element(s)
<pre><code class="language-javascript">
```js
document.getElementById();
document.getElementsByClassName(); //Returns an array of element(s)
document.querySelector(); //Returns the first matching selector
document.querySelectorAll(); //Returns an array of element(s)
</code></pre>
```
To add a class to an element
<pre><code class="language-javascript">
```js
element.className += “ random-class” //Note the space
</code></pre>
```
To check whether a certain condition is true in the browser
<pre><code class="language-javascript">
```js
window.matchMedia('aspect-ratio: 12/8'); //Returns true if the aspect ratio is 12/8
window.innerHeight; //Is the height of the window
window.innerWidth; //Is the width of the window
</code></pre>
```

## What should handle what?
HTML, CSS, and Javascript should all handle what each of them does best. HTML should handle the content, CSS should handle the styles/presentation, and Javascript should handle the behavior of the webpage. Why, you ask? One reason is that it demonstrates a &#8220;separation of concerns&#8221;. It would be a mess if you&#8217;re writing an article in the HTML and you put style attributes all over the place. That would make the markup confusing and hard to read/edit.

## Can&#8217;t I just put everything in a Javascript file?
## Can't I just put everything in a Javascript file?
Yes you can, but then you lose some of the great features of HTML and CSS. HTML and CSS ignore everything that it doesn&#8217;t understand. When Javascript encounters something it doesn&#8217;t understand, it stops running the code completely, regardless of what comes after. Please note that I am only speaking about what gets served to the user. When it comes to what&#8217;s actually on your server, then store your content however you wish.

## Conclusion
To me personally, my first lecture was a mess. Some of my examples didn&#8217;t work properly in the first type-through and I was everywhere. Though, to be sharing the little knowledge I do have, comes with it&#8217;s own joy. It must not have gone as terrible as I imagined it in my head because they seemed enthusiastic for the next lecture. So I&#8217;m excited to share this outline with you, and hopefully I&#8217;ll have many more to come. Until next time. 🙂
