Special Announcement: My New Frontend Masters Course is Live!

Hello Reader,

I don’t normally send two emails in a week, but I have some pretty big news that I wanted to share!

I’ve launched a new course with Frontend Masters called Professional CSS: Build a Website from Scratch.

This course was so much fun to put together and teach, and I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Not only am I happy with the course, but it is also pretty amazing to have worked with Frontend Masters on a course!

When I was first starting to take web development seriously I signed up for a subscription with them, and it's kind of mind-blowing to have a course there now.

In the course, I cover building a responsive website from scratch using the latest CSS features like custom properties, nesting, and layers.

On top of that, we add polish with animations, filtering, and view transitions, all while keeping accessibility front of mind as well.

The entire course is 9 hours long and, as I said, was a ton of fun to create and teach, and hopefully, it’s just as fun for you and the students as well.

Now, because it is with Frontend Masters, you will need a subscription with them if you want to take it.

I realize for some people, this is a bit of a deal breaker, but if it helps, you can sign up using this link for $10 off your first month.

And in signing up, you get access to a lot more than just my course.

One of my favourite courses that I’ve ever done is on their platform: JavaScript the Hard Parts, by Will Sentance.

Others that I’ve gone through have been Dave Rupert’s web components course, several of Jen Kramer’s CSS courses, and Sarah Drasner’s SVG essentials and animations one, among many others.

They have full learning paths and tons of high-quality courses on everything web development related.

Again, you can grab $10 off your first month by using this link, and if you already have a subscription, you can access my course here (or if you aren't signed up yet, you can go there to see everything the course covers before signing up).

Cheers,
Kevin

P.S. If you are much earlier in your journey, I also just put out a free HTML & CSS for absolute beginners course on my own platform recently as well.

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Last week, I talked about how CSS is like a strange puzzle. Like a regular puzzle, when we write CSS, we need to figure out how to fit all the pieces together properly. But it’s made more complicated because each piece can change it’s size and position. Despite that, we still need everything to fit together. There are so many variables at play at any given time that it sometimes feels like we’re just hoping for the...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, A few weeks ago, my dad and my 10-year-old son were working on a puzzle together. My dad mentioned that it was a pretty hard puzzle for a kid, and he was impressed with my son's patience with it (he isn’t always the most patient type 😆). The reason I bring this up at all is because one of the reasons that I often tell people I like CSS is because it’s like a puzzle. Just like with a real puzzle, where you do have a...

I don’t know what else to call this effect, or how to make a good thumbnail to illustrate what's going on, so this is it 😆. I took...
