To understand modern CSS layouts, you need to know CSS Grid. It is very useful and can be combined with other layout methods like flexbox when creating a page design. In this tutorial, you will learn many of the grid properties that you will frequently use. That said, there are so many properties available that you should follow this tutorial with a deeper dive into MDN or at least a visit to CSSGridGarden.com to practice your CSS grid skills. If you're just getting started with CSS, I recommend going to the start of this CSS for Beginners playlist: th-cam.com/play/PL0Zuz27SZ-6Mx9fd9elt80G1bPcySmWit.html
I'm really enjoying the "Microsoft Edge Tools for VS Code" extension. You're going to get a similar split-screen as Dave has. It takes a little getting used to - you're going to be typing in the dev tools directly instead of the CSS file to take maximum advantage but then you can see what all the options do immediately as you scroll through the list of options without even saving. Your choices will be saved in the CSS if you agree. Using that with this tutorial has been pretty amazing. Using the "Live Server" extension will, imo, still be the best option for testing responsive sites since you'll have the option to drag the sides of the screen to your preferred sizes and instantaneously see how your site changes versus having to type in the viewport sizes in the Edge extension where it becomes a lot less organic / pretty.
thank you a ton! Finally, this is the only lecture from you (my pivotal teacher) that I could not comprehend. It's highly complicated!!! I tried many times but it didn't work out! Anyway thank youuuuuuu!! You've been very helpful for me and my friends too.
I just discovered your videos and wow, I'm glad I did!! The way you explain everything makes the content much easier to understand than f.x. reading an article. Thanks so much, this is really appreciated!
thanks to dave for more enlightenment i'd read pdf but most times it's kinda look weird and hard . but whenever i switch to your tutorial it's always interesting
Thank you, Sayan! 🙏 I'm just following the content and trying to touch on all of the essential topics... of which there are many. I do not know exactly, but I am guessing there could still be 10 more lessons / modules before I complete this CSS for Beginners series. 🚀
Using template area is my favorite way to plan the main layout of the page (if required) where it's very simple to manipulate to respond to different screen sizes and orientations, I think the vertical scrollbar was activated because of the container min value specified in grid-auto-rows: minmax(150px, auto), using auto can fix it to some extent, or, maybe we can set the body height to 100vh, then add overflow: scroll to the main, it's ugly and unusual I know but possible, BTW, in the video description there is a semi-colon in the time of chapter "Experimenting with layout properties", Thanks Dave, that was a great video as usual,
I saw your HTML & CSS tutorials. They were amazing! Also, played the grid garden and flexbox froggy games. (so funny and useful) What do you recommend to do to practice these two languages and before moving on to JS? Thanks Dave!
Hi Dave This video was great, the way you explained everything made it very easy to understand and follow. Thanks for the hard work you put into these vids for your subs 🤙🤙🤙
Unironically got stuck for an hour on the grid-auto-rows setting because I putcommas between the values. Anyone learning a programming language in tandem with CSS will probably run into this sooner or later. Markup language (*ML) doesn't use commas like that... So far, grid feels harder than flex so I'll be playing in the garden for a while ;)
Hi Dave, I was just wondering that maybe at the end of tutorials like this, we get some sort of "active" usage on an actual webpage/website of the property in question, just to "visualize?" the property we're learning in what it could be used to create. I don't know, something around those lines...
Thanks for the suggestion, and I've been trying to do that when possible. For example, the navbar at the end of the list-style-types lesson or lesson 9 is a mini-project that brings together everything from the previous 8. At the end of this grid tutorial, I thought pulling together a layout with a header, main with nested grid, aside, and footer was a quick example of what was possible, too. Thanks again for the feedback!
Thanks for another amazing tutorial Dave! 15:00 - I tried to use display:flex; for child-element (instead of display:grid;) and applied "place-content: center;" but for some reason it only considered in one direction (i.e., horizontal as justify-content) and ignores vertical center-alignment.. Probably there are some details that I missed.
Thank you for another great video. I hope that it is ok that I ask questions when they arise(?).. (..And If so..) 14:00 - Why doesn't the grid implicit calculate boxes 3 and 4 at those positions even before box 2's declaration of - " grid-row: 3 / 4 " ? (...while it already seems "implicitly legit" once box 2's decleres of - " grid-column: 1 / 5 ")
It will implicitly fit any grid item in the first available space that is not explicitly needed for a specifically defined grid item. I think the "even before" part of your question indicates it is calculating the space for boxes 3 and 4 first. It is not. It reads the classes (definitions) from the stylesheet first - the first and second boxes - and then implicitly places anything that is not defined.
(* Although I didn't want to bother you with another massage by responding: "Thank you", I wasn't completly sure if simply "liking" (thumb up) your massage will reflect my appreciation..) Thank you.
Height specifies the height of an element (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/height) and min-height specifies the minimum height of an element (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/min-height) which will allow it to grow with the content you put inside the element. Using min-height insures your content will not outgrow the height of your element.
This is NOT a beginner's tutorial. Put yourself in the shoes of someone who knows nothing about this topic. You jumped into new selectors then barely explained them. Next....

I admit that this chapter is at an advanced level, but in the end I'm satisfied.
It's a titanic piece of work on your part.
Thank you so much.
Why, oh why have I only just found your channel????? Just love your no-nonsense style of teaching!!!
Glad you're here! And thank you! 🙏💯

I'm glad my content is helping, Anna! 💯
Dave this was outstanding; you're an excellent teacher.
grid layout is great, thank's teacher Dave, without use grid layout to make space, the content stay out of place
You sir! are God-sent. Your tutorials gives me so much clarity. Thanks to you, I can use flex and grid now.
So glad to hear that, Emma! 💯
THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU THOUGHT ME BETTER THAN MY COLLEGE PROFESSOR!!!!

Hi Dave, Loving your CSS series.
Can you tell when do you plan to complete CSS?
Thank you, Sayan! 🙏 I'm just following the content and trying to touch on all of the essential topics... of which there are many. I do not know exactly, but I am guessing there could still be 10 more lessons / modules before I complete this CSS for Beginners series. 🚀
Dave wish you good luck! Don't get tired of working! Can you teach me React js if you can?
Thank you! I do have a BIG React.js playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PL0Zuz27SZ-6PrE9srvEn8nbhOOyxnWXfp.html
thankyou dave !.

Glad it helped!
Grid is great thank you teacher Dave
I love your discussions sir and I will be spending my Web Development learning journey here. thanks

A really great way of teaching , thank's Dave !
You're a lifesaver, Sir... Thank you
Welcome!
Thanks, Dave. Another excellent tutorial again. Thumbs up!

Thank you, Ariel 🙏 I suggest building some web pages about topics that interest you.
Thank you for this incredible content!

perfect pace thank you

can you add how to make it responsive as you did with display flex?
Can't wait till Grid Garden updates for Subgrid 🥕
That will be nice! 🚀

Yes, grid can use a place-content rule. With flex, to center we use justify-content: center; And align-items: center; ...keep making progress! 🚀
Great tutorials. should I use native CSS, or should I use bootstraps or something new called tailwind?
You should learn CSS first. Afterwards, you can use a framework like Tailwind, Bootstrap, and others.
@@DaveGrayTeachesCode thanks. got it. i really like your videos while hating CSS...
How can we make the final grid layout that was shown in the tutorial responsive for mobile screen size??

What is the difference between min-height and height alone sir?
Height specifies the height of an element (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/height) and min-height specifies the minimum height of an element (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/min-height) which will allow it to grow with the content you put inside the element. Using min-height insures your content will not outgrow the height of your element.
Good tutorial as always Dave but man does css grid suck compared to flexbox.
You might find it handy sometime! 😀🚀

That's because this is number 15 in a series of CSS tutorials. If you follow in order, you've already been introduced to those.
