I’ve been primarily writing css for 15 years and I learned through reading spec and MDN about what I needed when I needed it. If you already know some css I strongly recommend reading the spec about the basics like display and position. A lot of junior developers I’ve hired can use css, but don’t understand why you’d use block vs inline or flex vs grid… and knowing this stuff can help avoid a lot of frustration that comes with kludging around until you get it to work.
- akira2501 5y agoFlexbox became much easier for me once I had some experience with tools like QT Designer and GTK's Glade. Those tools force you to understand the mechanics and elements that drive responsive GUIs more or less immediately. Once I came back to styling with CSS, I immediately understood how to use flex and develop slick UIs with it.
