Can anybody recommend a from-scratch introduction that follows the contours of modern usage? I can certainly find introductions myself but I don't know enough to know which are sensible. (though 'read everything on MDN' is always an option)

Would there be interest in this as a course? This course came out somewhat recently and I think it's designed for people who came to Frontend development mostly from JS/Using React: https://css-for-js.dev https://css-for-js.dev But I've been thinking about making a course that specifically focuses on helping people who have been doing web development for a long time update their skills. Because CSS has added so many modern features but it's easy to not notice if you're already tethered to a pre processor and have been using one for 10+ years

  I'm a professional software engineer that has paid for numerous books and similar learning material, and even then $399 is steep for me (and yes, I know there are cheaper packages, but they only get you part of the course).

    I'm not the target market for a video course -anyway- but it wouldn't surprise me if that price point results in "fewer sales than a lower price but similar revenue and a more pleasant discord due to student investment" or so. Who knows.

      I'm sure it works for some people - you can see a ton of testimonials on the website - I guess I'm just not the target audience.

  $399 seems too steep IMHO

Yes! I highly recommend Josh's comprehensive CSS course. It's not cheap but it is well worth it. https://www.joshwcomeau.com/ https://www.joshwcomeau.com/

  Great resource. It is just ironic that the collapsed content of each item needs JS to be expanded and the collapsed content just contains a link to a new page. The collapse is needless at all. Even it is needed, it is easily to expand it with pure modern CSS.

  Aha, that looks like precisely the sort of thing I was hoping for. Muchas gracias.
