Ideal way to learn CSS inside out.

[Thor]

Hey hey,

I love frontend, absolutely crazy about it.

I want to learn all of it.

Unfortunately I started "learning" using frameworks.

I know bootstrap inside out, I know foundation inside out.

But now I know what I want to do.

I want to do frontend, I want to create templates etc.

But my actual understanding of CSS is very little.

Please guide me into the right path to persue this.

Where and what should I do to learn CSS3

I'd like a formal approach as I find youtube videos to be very subjective and all over the place.

Have they changed? Last time I checked they weren't all that great more a reference guide.

I generally found that places like Github have tons of repo's for learning purposes. Note that it'll be community driven, but very useful. Some of those repo's have much more work put into explanations than "tutorial sites"

Also: http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/Beginners/the_beginning

Let's look at Thor's topic. "Ideal way to learn CSS inside out." Your video showcased W3Schools as a quick way to reference certain things and bashed MDN because it's difficult to find information on it.

Take a look at the 2 links below:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_link.asp
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/guides/html_links

See the difference? One shows you copy/paste information and quick fixes, the other shows you proper examples, differences and do's and don'ts
If copy/pasting is your thing then please go ahead, start a project and stackoverflow your way through it. See how far you'll get with maintainability later on.

If you actually want to learn something use a proper reference manual.

Get out of the wrong side of bed? Dog died?

Well done on you excellent job of stuffing hay into a shirt and pants and creating that strawman, because of course I said you should ignore everything else and just copy paste from w3 or stack overflow.

If that was your take from that video, posted in response to your stack exchange link, you have a long way to go.

from your example links, for a beginner like you, the w3 would be the first one you should use, and then supplement that with the webplatform link.

NAh the webform link actually learned me a lot.

I have read and heard everywhere that W3schools is rubbish and I have seen it as well, lots of outdated usage when I last checked and incorrect usage as well.

So I rather stay away.
