Come on a tour of modern CSS. This example-driven book demonstrates the concepts by showing code examples, screenshots, and diagrams to help clearly communicate the information.

You'll start with the very basics of CSS: box model, colors, selectors and combinators, and specificity. Then gradually move through more intermediate topics - styling text, positioning, Z-index and stacking contexts, gradients, borders, and then to more advanced topics such as transforms, transitions, animations, flexbox, and CSS grid. 

There is a lot of discussion about how hard CSS is, and how intimidated some people are by it, but it doesn’t have to be this way. uses a logical and understandable approach to break down and clearly explain the ins and outs of CSS.

This new edition has been fully updated keeping in mind the changes that CSS has undergone in the last four years and the new features and APIs that have been introduced. The chapter on CSS grids has been updated extensively and now includes a section on CSS subgrids. The book will guide you through recent topics such as nested CSS rules, the :is and :has pseudo-classes, scroll-driven animations, container queries, and more. 

What You'll Learn:

• Work with the syntax of CSS selectors and calculate specificity
