Moving to CSS

The title might be a bit of 'clickbait' because there is not only one way to learn CSS and master it, but I am here today to share with you my insights after almost 2 years of writing CSS.

What I recommend is to understand the basics like how to write CSS code meaning the syntax
nav {
display : flex;
}

After learning basic selectors, box model, some text properties you just have to make your hands dirty and jump into your preferred code editor and start building some projects, start by cloning websites like Google, Wikipedia etc... ( just the front-end, we are not worrying about functionalities now )

Learning CSS can be a complex and challenging journey, but it can also be extremely rewarding. While starting with the fundamentals is important, the right order to learn CSS is not set in stone. After mastering the basics, the real key to learning CSS is to start creating. This will allow you to run into obstacles and limitations that you need to overcome, and will help you identify what you need to learn next in order to achieve your goals. The process may not be linear, but by tackling challenges and building upon your knowledge over time, you will gradually strengthen your understanding of CSS.

It's normal to feel frustrated at times, but it's important to remember that the journey to mastering CSS is not about following a specific roadmap, but about continually expanding your knowledge and skills. So, don't be discouraged by setbacks or detours along the way, and keep pushing yourself to learn more. And remember, the real reward is the ability to create beautiful, functional websites and web applications. So, embrace the challenge and keep pushing forward – the results will be well worth it!
