Don't read. Build. Don't know how to build? Look at examples, you will slowly but surely understand good vs bad patterns.
I think reading the spec only starts to make sense once you've done quite a few things with CSS.
Of course there is udemy /s
- riazrizvi 5y agoYes, and a great book format to help you do this is Mark Myer's A Smarter Way To Learn HTML/CSS. It's exercises all the way.

- zoomablemind 5y ago> ...Don't read. Build. Makes sense in general. However there's a geat deal of expectations related to the intended look. These expectations are formed by the current looks of the popular sites, which may be built on frameworks. So trying to achieve such outcomes from scratch would be quite a lengthy journey. For a practical way to learn CSS, perhaps a set of simple styling objectives should be sufficient in order to understand the mechanics of CSS. I'm not sure if there's any value in memorizing the myriad of tweakable props or "the tricks" and browser specifics.
- hirako2000 5y agoI agree, no need or even possibility to build a football stadium to learn construction. Fix that screw holding the radiator. Maybe make a shelf out of wood. If you are brave maybe construction a patio from scratch. I think people don't realise how CSS and tech in general is about fiddling with things. And literature is becoming out dated at a faster pace than ever. So I would rather warn against "good" reads rather than recommend that path.
