About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

In this course, you will learn advanced and modern CSS using zombies, silliness, and a sense of humor. If you’re looking for a course that’s accessible to those without technical training or inclination and/or don’t mind laughing a bit while learning, this course is for you. You will start by learning some basic concepts of inline and block direction along with how they are used to style direction-agnostic layouts. Then, you will move towards learning CSS columns, followed by flexbox and finally grid. You will face a challenge at the end of each chapter that will test your learning.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
