5 awesome css resources

This post is originally written for my blog here -> https://easyontheweb.com/5-awesome-css-resources/

CSS has always been one of the most under-appreciated skills amongst web developers. Maybe because developers think it is the job of web designers to write CSS. This couldn’t be far from the truth. I write quite a lot CSS in my daily work as a full stack dev and so have compiled an awesome list of 5 CSS resources that could be very helpful to you.

John Duckett – HTML and CSS
One of the first resources that came to my mind for this list was this beautiful book that I read many years ago. I repeat, it’s beautiful ! With great illustrations and a good explanation of CSS, this should be your go to resource if you want to initially build up your CSS skills.

Internetting is hard
This is an awesome online course which I really liked. Again, full of beautiful illustrations and diagrams that would get stuck in your memory. A very well designed course that takes you from zero to hero in CSS and treats writing CSS as an art.

Wes Bos
If you are not a reader and are a watcher instead , i.e, you prefer to learn via videos then this is a great platform for you. Wes Bos is a great frontend developer whose videos have taught me a great deal over the years. Take a look at his JS and React videos along with the CSS ones as well, they are pure gold.

Advanced CSS and SASS
This is arguably the most in depth and advanced CSS course I have ever taken (and sorry, not completed). The teacher is an absolute expert, the content is great. We get to learn under the hood working of CSS as well as the practical stuff and we also learn SASS which is as they say themselves ‘awesome’.

CSS-tricks
The second most used CSS resource in my daily life after stackoverflow. This is not a course or a series but a site that will help you in times no one else will. With a huge library of content and articles you can just browse through the site to learn something new every day. All I can say is an absolute must visit website.

I would add MDN. The tutorials there taught me CSS better than any other resource I found. Also I always check it for anything I need or don't remember about CSS.
