Good CSS learning resources and blog posts?

For the last few months I’ve been (re)-learning vanilla CSS. Initially I did not ‘get’ how to structure CSS to take advantage of the ‘cascade’ and avoid specificity issues. Thus gravitated toward TailwindCSS. But now that I’m starting to grok vanilla CSS better, and especially modern features like layers, custom HTML elements and Declarative Shadow DOM, it is a game changer!

Tons of tutorials with examples on codepen

Just to check browser support

Svelte looks amazing for scoped styles

I’ve had these bookmarked for a while. - just not had time to go through them yet:

If you do please let us know what you think!

There’s also the tailwind book: book-modern-css-with-tailwind-second-edition

(PS I moved these posts into a separate thread as I imagine lots of people will be interested!)

Who else hates capitalized string type in Dart?

Dart is not the first language with that mistake, but it’s newer. It shouldn’t have repeated this mistake.
