About this course

CSS Essential Training covers modern CSS from the ground up: the cascade, specificity, and inheritance, the box model, Flexbox for one-dimensional layout, CSS Grid for two-dimensional layout, responsive design with media queries, CSS custom properties (variables), and animations and transitions. Christina Truong's teaching is methodical and visual, building understanding through examples that progressively reveal CSS's logic.

CSS has evolved significantly with Flexbox and Grid — layout problems that required JavaScript workarounds five years ago are now solvable with CSS alone. This course teaches the modern CSS layout model that professional front-end developers use, rather than float-based legacy approaches that older tutorials still teach.

What you'll learn

Apply the cascade, specificity, and inheritance rules correctly
Use the CSS box model to control element sizing and spacing
Build flexible layouts with CSS Flexbox
Build complex two-dimensional layouts with CSS Grid
Implement responsive design with media queries and mobile-first approaches

Frequently asked questions

No — this covers vanilla CSS fundamentals. Understanding vanilla CSS first makes frameworks more intuitive.
Both — Flexbox is best for one-dimensional layout (rows or columns); Grid is best for two-dimensional layout. Modern CSS uses both.
