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...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) 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...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Every year Black Friday rolls around, I get asked if I'll be doing a Black Friday sale, and every year my answer is "nope, I don't do sales on my courses." This year, I've changed my mind and will be having a Black Friday Sale. I'll be running my first Black Friday sale in 7 years, starting next Tuesday, November 25th, and it'll run through to Cyber Monday. The sale will be for my two main courses, CSS Demystified and...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, A bit of a different email this Sunday, as I don't have any new content to share (which is the first time I haven't had anything in a long time). Instead, I'm writing to let you know on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I’m giving a workshop with Frontend Masters called Modern CSS Fundamentals. The workshop is for anyone ready to move from doing their best to getting CSS to work to truly understanding it. Whether...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, I’m going to keep the intro short on this ones because there is a lot going on in the What I’ve Been up to section, but before we jump into into that, two quick things: As an experiment for Interop 2026, Jake Archibald and the team at Firefox habe put together a way to gather more feedback on what features matter most to developers. So, if you head on over here, you can pick the proposals that are important to you, and...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, A few weeks ago, I posted a video about the current state of the internet after I had a terrible AI-generated CSS article showing up in my news feed. I was saddened by how it was getting priority over quality content from sites like Piccalilli, Smashing Magazine, CSS-Tricks, and countless other excellent sources (I’ve put a bunch in the other links around the web section below if you’re looking for more to follow). At...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, It's been a while since I've had a long newsletter... I know some people prefer these, so if you're one of them, here we go (and for the rest, you can skim down to the next section 😉). Also, stick with me, because this is going to tie back into web development in a second, but I grew up downhill skiing since the age of two or three. From the age of seven until sometime in my twenties, I skied every weekend throughout...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, I’ve been doing a lot more interviews with people over on my second channel over the last few weeks. Only one of those conversations has been posted sso far, with the others coming soon. The reason I mention this, though, is that one question I like to ask my guests near the end, when I do a rapid-fire segment, is “Is there a CSS best practice that you disagree with?” The reason I like asking that question is that so...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Yup, you read that right, I'm hosting a totally free CSS Grid workshop this week! You can scroll down a bit if you're interested in that, but first I want to talk a bit about one of my goals with my second channel. One of my favourite things to do there is to have conversations with other people, and while I have had a few in the past, most episodes are just me rambling about things. I've finally reached out to some...
