Ask HN: Where to learn more about CSS?

Posted by Jeremy1026 on Tuesday February 26, 2013 @11:13AM
from the ask-hn dept.
I have been working in the web for about 10 years both doing front end and back end development. My focus over the past few years has been back end work. So while CSS has exploded, I have been working on the logic that drives websites and have missed a bunch of what makes websites look so nice.

I am also kinda in the same boat as you. One thing i have figured out is to just try and play around. When you want to do something with CSS just search for it and try it out. If you have source code control or your own local dev environment, you can play around and it will help to learn new things.

Crud. My second paragraph didn't post. Adding it below:

I am open to any suggestions for resources to get caught back up with CSS. Books, websites, mailing lists, whatever. Please provide your favorite CSS resources.
