Ask HN: Best book or resource to REALLY grasp CSS?
What was the book or resource that really made you grasp CSS in a way that you proactively know what will happen when you change random position or display attributes on elements and that enabled you to design pages without too much trial and error?<p>Background: I was primarily a backend developer but in the last 3-4 years I do full-stack development, first with angular now with vuejs on the frontend. I always use CSS &quot;framework&quot; on the frontend like Bootstrap and usually buy some theme when I start a project and start from there. I was always able to get the look that I wanted when I changed stuff in CSS but it was always with many trials and errors, usually trying stuff in the browsers inspect window until I get things right. I am sick of that so I would finally really like to properly learn CSS.<p>The end result that I like to achieve is that I would be able to not use CSS framework (maybe just something like tailwind css) and easily create and maintain responsive page designs. I am primarily interested in pure CSS stuff, not how to organize it, that is a broader topic especially if you use SPA framework, pre&#x2F;post processors, modules, etc.
