Hello Reader,

A very short email this week, with a little less content than usual. Between the Black Friday Sale, my Smashing workshop, and a few other things, it’s been pretty hectic! Luckily I knew this was all coming and made some regular content for all of December already πŸ˜….

πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈ What I’ve been up to this week

Getting started with CSS Nesting

CSS Nesting is awesome, though there are a few important things to know about it, which I break down in this video.

The title of this one says it all πŸ˜….

πŸ“ Quiz time!

Which of these selectors is valid? (so far, most people are getting this one wrong!)

  1. .card:has(.title:has(span))
  2. .card::after:hover
  3. .card:has(:hover) + ::after
  4. .card > + .title

As per usual, you'll have to head on over to YouTube to take a stab at the quiz, and once you answer, you'll see if you were right or not.

Hoping to have a podcast episode out next week, as well as a more regular version of this newsletter.

Until then,
Kevin

Every year, when we hit December (which is tomorrow!), I realize the end of the year is almost here and wonder how the heck it went so quickly! It always feels like there's still so much to do, and while I’ll be doing a proper year-in-review once we actually hit 2026, taking a quick stock of what I’ve done this...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, My Black Friday sale kicks off today, and it's a big one: 40% off of CSS Demystified and Beyond CSS. Being the first non-launch-related sale I've ever done, I figured to make it a big one, so on top of that, I'm also throwing in Flexbox Simplified as a bonus with either one. The sale runs today, up through the end of the day on December 1st. As for the two courses that are on sale: CSS Demystified is for people who've...

Hello Reader, Before we get to the content this week... thanks to Bill, I've just realized I missed sending out last week's newsletter, even though I wrote it! In it, I'd originally talked about the new name for masonry, which is display: grid-lanes. I've included the video where I talk about it in more detail down below. And speaking of masonry, it brings up what I wanted to talk about this week, which is how the term Modern CSS is...
