Writing CSS sucks -you used to say, before you read this book.
The dirty secret is that under the hood, CSS is a straightforward, intuitive language that is a joy to work with once you are taught the right way to master CSS and write it with confidence.
Both beginners and experts alike are guaranteed to learn something new and useful in these pages-it doesn't matter if you've never coded before or are already a front-end veteran.
It's not your fault if you haven't yet learned the easy way to write CSS: they never told you in your university CS classes (or at your bootcamp course) how important CSS is when you started working at a real job delivering real products.
As a result, you're pressured to ship CSS at your work where you don't have time to learn the fundamentals.
Worse, the existing CSS resources out there are very technical and assume you already know how browser C++ rendering engines work, which is not at all approachable.
