I really like Jen Simmons's videos on CSS layouts. (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7TizprGknbDalbHplROtag/vid...)
Before this month, the last time that I made a layout with CSS floats were still in style. When I decided to really learn modern CSS this month even starter videos like "Basics of CSS Grid: The Big Picture (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FEnRpy9Xfes)" were over my head.. I'm a back-end developer, I'd never used Flexbox let alone Grid. As I watched Jen's videos I scribbled down what she was excited about and then started reading "CSS: The Definitive Guide (https://www.amazon.com/CSS-Definitive-Guide-Visual-Presentat... cover to cover.
I'm really glad that I watched Jen's videos first. Having some best practices in my head before I learned the mechanics of Flexbox and Grid helped crystallize everything. Now that I'm basically through CSS: TDG I'm re-watching her videos and getting even more out of them.
