  • Sure, I'm teaching a lot of CSS in my, um, CSS course, but lessons like this one is where I hope you're going to get the most value.

    Why am I telling you all of this? I want you to learn from my mistakes. The reason I am teaching the material that I am teaching in this course is because I have experienced a lot of bad, working in this industry and the vast majority of that *bad* was entirely avoidable by taking just one step back, slowing the process down and making *better* decisions with a clearer mind. We’re moving into some coding principles next which I know, that’s what most of you are here for. But, if you take even a *pinch* of value from the core skills material of this course, I promise, technical debt, complexity and stress will reduce, resulting in the quality of the CSS that you author almost certainly sky rocketing. Let’s get into some CSS.

  • After months of planning and preparation, my upcoming CSS course writing has officially started!

    We're looking at a November release ⏱️

    So, you want to get better at writing CSS, right? How do you go about it? Reading the specs? Doing tutorials? Coding challenges? Building websites? Sure, all of the above are *very good things to do*, but let me throw a curve ball into the mix for you. The path to becoming a truly great CSS developer — in fact, a truly great overall front-end developer is down to more than coding. It comes down to how you approach everything else like communication, giving and receiving feedback, finding a pragmatic solution and planning. I’ve been working with CSS for over 15 years at this point and a lot has changed in its capabilities. What hasn’t changed though is the core skills — often called “soft skills” — that are required to push you to the next level. I’ve spent a large chunk of those 15 years as a consultant, helping organisations — both global corporations and small startups — write better CSS. In **almost every single case** an improvement of the organisation’s core skills were the over
