Josh’s first course, CSS for JS Devs was how I finally “learned” CSS after 15 years of working with it.

It’s not just for JS devs of course, I started with C and PHP nearly 20 years ago now, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to understand things like “why isn’t the z-index doing anything?!?!” and the like.

Yeah, +1. I started as a backend dev and for a long time, I knew just enough CSS to be dangerous. After taking that course, I feel pretty confident. Josh is quite good at balancing aesthetics, standards, and pragmatism. He explains the mechanics of CSS in a way that facilitates developing understanding and intuition, giving you an ability to reason about solving design challenges instead of just trying things and crossing your fingers.
