Dynamically Filling in a CSS Grid with JavaScript
So, what little project have I decided to try out first? Well, many options came to mind. But in the end, I decided to try and find a practical use for the idiotic matrix and grid traversal algorithms all of us are forced to do in the whiteboard challenge round of the dev interview process. The tiny project that I'm about to share simply creates a CSS Grid with a specified number of equal rows and columns. A separate script then places square blocks of a pseudo-random (but limited) size into the grid at a pseudo-random x and y location. This creates a fun randomized section of a page that changes on every page load. I've had great fun with it and hope you do too! The personal website for my wife and I's development studio will soon feature a version of this on our portfolio page that displays the blocks as thumbnails of our past projects.

CSS Grid Areas are amazing
When I first learned about CSS Grid Layout and the new powers it gave us as CSS developers, I was immediately excited. I was thrilled at the prospect of shedding all those layers of non-semantic container

CSS Grid and IE11
CSS Grid is a relatively new approach to layouts, and it has been proved simple for junior developers to learn. Wes Bos has a great free tutorial on this.

CSS Grid vs Flexbox
I started using Flexbox to organize my layout. Until I discovered CSS Grid. But I was confused as Flexbox and CSS Grid are very similar and I didn't know when to use which. So, let me tell you what I learnt from my new research.
Intrinsically Responsive CSS Grid with minmax() and min()
CSS Grid is now widely supported across modern browsers, and there are lots of folks doing great work with it! But unfortunately, one of the most useful features of the specification doesn’t quite work as advertised. Specifically, it’s not possible to create an “intrinsically responsive grid” — that is, a grid that is responsive based on the size of its container — without the use of media queries. But thanks to some standards that are now available in some browsers and on their way to others, we can fix that!

Flex items are not grid columns
Let's take the intuition from the second Flexbox attempt, to give each inline item its own "column" and make those "columns" the same size, and translate it over to CSS Grid, where we can drop the quotes: we'll literally define a column in a grid for each item and give them the same size using the
frunit introduced with Grid.

7 Best Places to Learn and Practice CSS Grid Layout
When first I started to build the layout of my web pages I was using the Bootstrap grid system without realizing that there is a powerful layout system inside CSS. Styling takes time and not only an hour but probably days and weeks if you are working on a big project and specifically when it is time to work as a freelancer alone. Many frameworks like Bootstrap and libraries have been built to reduce development time and styling time but I think not every time we need to use those frameworks and libraries, an obvious example is CSS GRID LAYOUT SYSTEM. Not only frameworks and libraries get enhanced but languages like HTML, CSS, and JS are getting enhanced.

Use CSS Grid in production — today
Everyone wants CSS Grid. It’s about a new layout method that will significantly change the way we design our content on the Internet. With CSS Grid you have the opportunity to place content in an unprecedented form on a website and sort it dynamically between viewports.

With regard to the variety of devices on which websites are presented today, this state had not been sustainable.

Happy CSS Grid coding!
