The Power of Modern CSS with Dylan Beattie

In this special episode of Software-Architektur im Stream and maschinenraum.fm, host Lucas Dohmen sits down with web development veteran Dylan Beattie to explore the surprising power of modern CSS. Long dismissed as a mere styling tool, CSS has evolved into a robust language for layout, animation, accessibility, and complex interactions — often eliminating the need for heavy JavaScript frameworks. Drawing on decades of experience building for the open web, Dylan shares how combining semantic HTML with contemporary CSS can simplify front-end architecture, reduce dependency on frameworks like React, and help developers ship faster and more maintainably. Tune in to discover how web development is being reimagined.
