css-girls
Easy and Exhaustive guide and best practices of css at one place. Name inspired from Django girls.
Motivation and Commentary
Understanding of an average developer of css plateaus after ingesting articles from w3school, videos from youtube and solving their own doubts from stackoverflow. The drive to get a deeper understanding isn't there. One of the major reasons of creating this repo was my own problems. Even after being aware of css for more than three years, I wasn't comfortable with css-layouts and it's best practices. While writing my own css, I continuously had this eery feeling of things not working the way I expected it to work. This repo will intends to address two major things. One, act as a fundamental tutorial for people who have already consumed web-junk. Second act as a guide for best practices. There will be lot of my own bias in this repo in what I consider best practices. I will also try ("Thinking slow") to provide reasoning why I consider it as best practice. I don't like java, because there a gazillions ways of doing things and hence equivalent no of ways of getting wrong. Same goes for css. To create a particular layout there are gazillions ways. I want to establish one average-correct way of doing it properly. It doesn't have to be magnificent. But it has to be general.
