Master responsive layouts, troubleshoot effectively, and leave with the skills to implement any design — no more guesswork, just solid understanding.

Key Takeaways

By participating along with us in the workshop, you'll learn:

  • Learn how to work with CSS, instead of fighting against it
  • Build a solid foundation and have the core knowledge needed to learn any CSS framework or methodology quickly
  • Build responsive layouts with confidence by understanding the underlying principles so you can create any layout, not just copy existing ones
  • Debug CSS problems quickly by knowing exactly where to look when things break and how to fix them
  • Write maintainable, scalable CSS by learning to organize your styles in ways that won’t become a nightmare as projects grow

Is This Workshop for Me?

Anyone ready to move from “making CSS work” to truly understanding it. They have touched CSS, but they’re still in the trial-and-error phase, often copying styles and tweaking values until things look right, and getting frustrated when layouts break and declarations don’t work as intended.

Workshop Details

Whether you’re a backend developer diving into frontend, a bootcamp grad ready to move beyond frameworks, or a self-taught developer who wants to build from scratch, this workshop will teach you the systematic principles behind modern CSS. This workshop will teach you the systematic principles behind modern CSS. We’ll explore not just how specific CSS features work, but why CSS works the way it does.

By the end, you’ll have the solid foundation needed to tackle any project, whether you’re writing vanilla CSS, working with frameworks, or even jumping into utility-first approaches like Tailwind.

Any Prerequisites?

  • HTML fundamentals along with some CSS experience, even if it’s just some very basic styling, or following along with a couple of tutorials.
