CSS: An Art, a Science, a Nightmare (Everything You Should Know)
Speaking CSS is like speaking English, or any other spoken language - there are many words, but you only end up using a small subset of them on a daily basis. Just like reading a dictionary isn’t an efficient way to learn a language, looking at a big list of properties isn’t helpful to learn CSS.
Some people think CSS is really hard and it’s too much of a hassle to learn. Some people think that since it’s not a programming language (or is it?), it’s so easy that you don’t even have to bother learning it. Ultimately, there’s a lot to CSS, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. If you learn a few key concepts, you should feel confident looking at or thinking of any design and turning it into reality.
I’m going to go over some of the parts of CSS that are important on a daily basis, and give some of tips and tricks I’ve come to learn over the years.
