Why do people bother with SASS over SCSS? Isn't it better that whatever you write in SCSS can be reused in small CSS snippets as well if you want to in the future?
A CSS Tip I learnt a long time ago was to always design mobile first. If you look at your plain HTML in mobile mode, it usually is perfectly designed moulded for a mobile setting. As you grow bigger, it’s easier to adjust all the content using “min-width” media query. The mobile first is helpful in most cases when designing.
Good tip- plus if you're doing a professional project usually you have some kind of analytics to see how many users access the site/use the app on mobile vs desktop, etc, so you can kind of decide what should be the 'main' look and what should be a screen-adjusted layout of that. Also fwiw for anyone this might help, and based on a thing that I definitely didn't recently have to deal with- don't procrastinate your media queries to doing them all at once after you style your pages/components; if you can, try to do all or as much of you can of them for each component as you develop its styles. Sometimes you get lucky and can just set a container width to like 50/60/70vw and good ol margin 0 auto, but sometimes you can have something like a thing that I definitely didn't recently have to deal with where you're like 'wtf subheader why do you keep escaping through the container's border on xl screens??' Plus if resize media queries are a thing your app needs, they're a lot easier to manage one page/component/feature at a time. ETA: I once did something I was really pleased with where I looped through list items to grab their ID then assign that value to the content property of a before pseudoelement as a way to number things and style the number, and now I feel like a tit after having seen that counter thing.
A minor mistake at 2:45 that might get some beginners confused is that the CSS shown on the screen does not put the element (the poop icon in this case) at the bottom right of the container (i.e. the first absolutely or relatively positioned parent element, so not necessary its direct parent). It puts the top-left corner of the element at the center of the container, so now the element's position within the container is slightly off and not exactly at the center. That's why we need the specify the `transform: translate(-50%, -50%);` property which moves the element upwards by 50% of its height, along the Y-axis and leftwards by 50% of its width, along the X-axis, thus properly puts it right at the center of the container.
I remember when I was first trying to play with positions, and always wondered "why does this put it in so weird place, and not in the center, if I described that it should have moved it 50% from left and 50% from top? wouldn't this mean it's equal so then center?" lmao
Greatt video as always! Here's my favourite CSS Pro Tip: There's this obscure CSS property called scroll-padding-top. When you have a sticky / fixed header, and you click an anchor link, it gets hidden under the sticky header. To avoid this annoying bug, just give your body element scroll-padding-top equal to the header height. Along with scroll-behaviour: smooth, this will make it so that when you click an anchor link, it'll scroll to it, such that it starts right beneath the header instead of hidden under it, which is the intended behaviour!
I remember manually adjusting the padding of my anchor link destinations to fix this issue on one of my sites. This is an amazing solution that will serve me well. Thanks a lot!!
I'd also like to be as good at CSS as you bro. I'd like to get helpful materials from you (materials that can help me get better at CSS), that's if you some and you if you don't mind..... what's your social media bro (Instagram or Twitter) so I can hit you up
Grid and flexbox were lifesaver for me. I used to do layouts with float and clear properties. When I learnt grid and flexbox, one fine evening I created new git branch of the project, removed all 'float' and 'clear' from entire source code. As expected, layouts were broken. Then I implemented grid and flexbox. It was time consuming task but it was fun. It was 2 years back and I haven't wrote 'float' in any css file ever since.
My approach with any programming language: study thoroughly the language to have a solid general understanding of how it works before writing the first line of code. My approach with css: throw in random keywords until the page seems to somehow look right and pray it won’t break later on
Another nifty thing to do - in my opinion at least - is to set te font-size of everything to 62.5% (by use of the HTML selector). This way you'll have a much easier time calculating sizes with the rem-suffix. In a nutshell, setting font-size to 62.5% causes 1 rem to be equal to 10 px
I think over all my favourite CSS protip is; although, maybe less of a CSS tip and more of an organizational tip in general; how important it is to keep your DOM clean. When I first started, I would put divs everywhere with tons of nesting. When in reality, you can usually get away with having one div to one box on your page. Very little wrappers are needed if you take a second to think about what each element in your HTML is doing
@Anja and @SK: Have a look at the LayoutLand channel made by Jen Simmons. A good example, where she thinks about HTML first and then about styling is: th-cam.com/video/-hmOZU7Zk10/w-d-xo.html
One of the largest struggles I had while learning CSS was precedence. Too many times have I come across "! important" on properties that shouldn't have needed them! Great video!
Great Video. For anyone who develops on Chrome: The features from Firefox @ 2:00 are also available on Chrome. Under Computed, any value under box model is editable if you double click. Chrome has grid lines on screen available under Layout, but I suppose Firefox has nicer graphics for that. Just wanted to note.
CSS is super simple. The problem with programmers is that they are not designers. Most programmers are anti-anything that has to deal with art or creativity. That's also why they depend heavily on frameworks with pre-made components.
2:42 Correction: position absolute 50% doesn't move the element to the far right and/or bottom. It moves the left and top corner of the element to the center of the parent. Then we apply translate to move it back by its own half, having the element perfectly centered in the parent.
The protip: you can build awesome responsive layout with (almost) one line of CSS. Use { display: grid grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(150px, 1fr)) } and see how elements in your grid shrink and grow depending on the parent grid size. You can also add *grid-gap* to make it even better. It's great for something like i.e placing video thumbnails like TH-cam does.
I feel like I'm pretty good with CSS, and then I watch this video and feel like you just opened up a new world for me. This is great, I love these kinds of videos!
This is one of the easiest CSS tutorial across tutorial. I've known the properties but I couldn't use em correctly. This made things way more understanding.
Amazing content as always! The top: 50%; left: 50%; actually brings the element to the middle of the parent and then the transform just subtracts half of the width and the height of the actual element.
Pro Tips: 1. Stack box-shadows with varying parameters and opacity to get a more detailed and polished look. 2. Create a master file that you can use between projects to give you simple classes like "img-border-radius", "btn-border-radius". "primary-color", "primary-light", "error-color" - these keep stylesheet calls from CSS frameworks from bloating your site. 2A. Use SASS/SCSS and create variables to use inside the classes, so you only have to change 20 lines of code instead of 500, but you still get a custom look per site
I've always sourced to using Bootstrap or Tailwind for designing my websites. I've always been interested in back-end primarily so I never dabbled in front-end. But the goal is to be a full-stack developer soon, so I'll be switching over to raw CSS. Thanks for the tips!
I think the best unsaid tip is to focus and master the basics before going further and use frameworks, it's probably true for most stuff in software development.
You can still use Bootstrap while using CSS. I frequently use css in my bootstrap code so that it does exactly what I want it to do, as opposed to the default bootstrap behaviour.
Although raw is better most companies find it a time waster and will set you up woth tailwind or other frameworks. Buisness is about efficiency after all. I also say this because many a cocktail devs. Will claim css is easy and yet have come here to learn the 30 extra things they never heard about on css. What I'm saying Is css has ALOT and can become overwhelming. The basics aren't bad and mostly gone over in the video. Padding, margin, border and flex box along with grid are important.

I've done over 12 hrs of an Udemy Web Dev course regarding HTML and CSS.... This video smashed my mind wipe open.... I learnt more in less than 10 mins than I did on Udemy in 6+ hours on Udemy. Top Marks.
I am about to start CSS , no prior knowledge in it. But, your way of explaining is very awesome as I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND CSS WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTIES
i dont really have a problem with using the css, but more with making things look good. there is always something that makes me mad because it doesnt look like how i want it to look like
These tips are so good! I learned some very cool new stuff 😎 But I noticed a little mistake in the animation at 2:44. The 50% top and left will place the poops top-left edge in the center of the box. The poop is NOT placed in the bottom-right edge of the box.
I agree with a fundamental understanding of CSS. That being said, tailwindcss, postcss, and autoprefixer have made my jump into Angular very smooth given my limited and dated experience with HTML/CSS.
This was absolutely amazing. I've been learning simple web development for a couple of months now, and I've had so many issues with CSS, of which this video solved them all. Thank you!
Awesome content as always, I learn something new from your videos all the time! The most exciting property I learned about in css recently is object-fit for images and video, if you'd like to set a specific width and height to the element you can use object fit to prevent any type of distortion or stretching.
Love these tips, thank you! Combining this with your following video (3 more life changing tips), I'm loving the possibilities of variables with HSL for dark theme support: :root { --H1: xx; --S1: xx; --L1: xx; --text-color: hsl(var(--H1), var(--S1), var(--L1)); } .light-theme { --L1: 25; } .dark-theme { --L1: 225; } I haven't tested this yet.
Wow, your videos are outstanding (judging by the 2 I've seem). This one provides so many useful upgrades to my CSS, and just the right time for me to "hear it". "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Thanks. Btw, I rarely subscribe to channels, but your presentation is just the way I like it. Reminds me of my favorite cuber channel (jperm).
I learned pure/raw CSS before discovering CSS frameworks like Tailwind or Bootstrap. While working on a personal project, I realized the CSS was repetitive and thought, "I can make just one class and use it in any other element." That's when I learned about concepts like DRY, OOCSS, BEM, and Atomic CSS. Discovering these principles was a crazy exciting- I realized how handy they are. Then, I found CSS frameworks and thought, "This is what I've been doing but easier and faster." The beauty of learning is that it leads to these kinds of insights.
The first time I was introduced to media queries, I was like, "Wow, this is incredibly cumbersome. WTF? Who the hell would want to write 3 versions of the same layout?"
Watched this video when I was beginner, I learned something new. Now, it just showed randomly and I just clicked and learned something new. Great video!
I've just watched a couple of your "code this, not that" videos (JS and CSS) and they are fantastic. The only problem now is that I feel utterly useless... I thought of myself as a pretty good front-end dev... but now I'm seriously trying to justify my salary - and I'm being serious. I'm going to dissect these videos as a starting point to bettering my dev abilities.... and there's a lot to learn. (a little bit of context: I've been a dev for over 20 years... and I'll be the first to admit that I haven't really kept up on the new facets of JS and CSS in the last few years. These videos have truly jolted me - I feel ashamed of myself)
Great content as always. The part where you explain centering with absolute, I believe top: 50% is 50% of the parent, same with the left. Therefore, the child is at the center of its parent. However, the child is centered by its top left corner so we need to transform the child -50% (which is now 50% of the child width/height) to correctly center it by its center.
One tip (I learned the hard way!) for child element positioning -- the parent element must have it's default inherited position stated (position: relative;) in order for the child to have positioning. If position is only stated for the child, it won't work.
In the modern times, where we have Kevin Powell, web dev simplified and fireship, CSS can be learnt much faster and not to mention, save you time and energy from a lot of complex or annoying situations. I advise everyone to learn it.
Nice video as always! For the sake of learning how CSS works avoid framework or utility class is necessary but after you understand how it works using those tools is a lot of time saving for sure
One of the best things I found to do with CSS is to use an idea found in Bootstrap - create small styles as building blocks and apply those small styles to the different elements - like for example I created a few styles called fs-x_x going from fs-0_5 incrimenting by 0_1 up to 3_0 - in each of those styles I had one line of CSS font-size : and then the number followed by em so fs-0_5 would be font-size:0.5em; fs-3_0 would be font-size 3.0em - that way if I wanted to make the font size bigger or smaller I could just add the class fs-x_x to the element. I based this idea on some of the things that bootstrap does like the my- or px- classes which change the padding/margin by a set amount. I also did the same with colour c- and bg- That way if I wanted a bit of text "brand red" with "brand yellow" background, a bit smaller than the other text with no X padding and a large Y margin I could always do
A small note: top: 50%; left: 50% doesn't move the element to the bottom right. It moves the elements top left corner to the center, and translating it back 50%; moves it back half of its own width and height
I think there is talks in the works to have this replaced soon though, for everyone that keeps learning different colour models. LCH is similar to HSL but its big advantage is the lightness of colours is perceived equally between different hues.
literally every chapter my reaction was "whatt?! no way", honestly i didnt even know these existed until now. thank you for making my love towards programming ever grater :)
This channel has 840K subscribers at the moment, and I still think it’s underrated. Absolutely the best presentation of any tech channel BY FAR. Love it.
Cool video, learned a lot of new stuff during these 10 minutes! Though you have an error around 2:43. When centering divs the old way (by absolute positioning and translation), you don't move the item to the bottom right corner first, but instead you move it to the center actually. But it is going to be slightly off, because now the top left corner of the child element is in the center, not its actual center, so that is why you need the translate property. One takeaway here is that the first two 50% values are referring to the parent container's size, but the translate property uses the child element's size for the 50% calculations. But I guess you know this, just made a mistake in this video.
My Favourite CSS Pro tip:If you want to use responsive font size instead of using different font sizes using media queries for different screen. You can use as below: font-size: calc(1em+1vw);
Man, CSS IS AWESOME. I just use it, every time, and I like it a lot, didn't knew people felt that way, once a dude congrats me for doing some basic styling and I was like... really? I would like to help everyone to use it, like you are doing, great video!

A CSS Tip I learnt a long time ago was to always design mobile first.
If you look at your plain HTML in mobile mode, it usually is perfectly designed moulded for a mobile setting. As you grow bigger, it’s easier to adjust all the content using “min-width” media query.
The mobile first is helpful in most cases when designing.
Good tip- plus if you're doing a professional project usually you have some kind of analytics to see how many users access the site/use the app on mobile vs desktop, etc, so you can kind of decide what should be the 'main' look and what should be a screen-adjusted layout of that.
Also fwiw for anyone this might help, and based on a thing that I definitely didn't recently have to deal with- don't procrastinate your media queries to doing them all at once after you style your pages/components; if you can, try to do all or as much of you can of them for each component as you develop its styles. Sometimes you get lucky and can just set a container width to like 50/60/70vw and good ol margin 0 auto, but sometimes you can have something like a thing that I definitely didn't recently have to deal with where you're like 'wtf subheader why do you keep escaping through the container's border on xl screens??' Plus if resize media queries are a thing your app needs, they're a lot easier to manage one page/component/feature at a time.
ETA: I once did something I was really pleased with where I looped through list items to grab their ID then assign that value to the content property of a before pseudoelement as a way to number things and style the number, and now I feel like a tit after having seen that counter thing.
Phones tend to be slower too and the layout is simpler and more one dimensional. It's much easier to add things than trying to remove them.
Mobile first isn’t even a thing anymore, since mobile screens got so big.
Design in a way that the style automatically adapts to the viewport.

I always find back-end devs saying CSS is hard so baffling when back-end seems like the real big brain stuff
You sent me down so many rabbit holes, this 10 min video has led to 2+ hours of notes. Thank you for your teaching magic
I am about to start CSS , no prior knowledge in it.
But, your way of explaining is very awesome as I WAS ABLE TO UNDERSTAND CSS WITHOUT MUCH DIFFICULTIES
The quality is top notch! Legit blew my mind on how effective it’s explained. Thanks and well done :)
i dont really have a problem with using the css, but more with making things look good. there is always something that makes me mad because it doesnt look like how i want it to look like
Same
These tips are so good! I learned some very cool new stuff 😎
But I noticed a little mistake in the animation at 2:44. The 50% top and left will place the poops top-left edge in the center of the box. The poop is NOT placed in the bottom-right edge of the box.
I'm currently learning CSS/JS and omg.. This video taught me more than my last 10 hrs of studying. Thank you so much!!
This is what we need!! 3 years ago, still so precious 💖
I remember the days of old CSS... Love the CSS3 and how easy it is.
l love ccs too but i lm new at dev
Clamp and fancy calculations blew my mind 🤯
Wait. . .
Soon we'll have:
1. container queries
2. layers
3. scopes
Ahh the irony in "CSS is awesome" at 0:13 😂

Nice catch 👌😂😂😂
Of course! That’s what’s naturally happens cuz overflow is visible by default 😂
just
overflow:hidden
😂
lol it was funny tbh
:focus and :focus-within is such a great tip, i can't believe i've written js to manage states for popups and dropdowns all those years.
I agree with a fundamental understanding of CSS. That being said, tailwindcss, postcss, and autoprefixer have made my jump into Angular very smooth given my limited and dated experience with HTML/CSS.
The amount of time this could've saved me in the past and will save me in the future is immeasurable
This was absolutely amazing. I've been learning simple web development for a couple of months now, and I've had so many issues with CSS, of which this video solved them all. Thank you!
Thanks god, this video finally arrived. CSS is such a pain but I try to be better everyday !
You're the greatest content maker about code / tech... By FAR !!!! Far far far.
You rock! This video has pulled me out of the bootstrap, tailwind, material-ui hole I've had my head buried deep in. Just wow.
Thank you for this. I've been writing CSS since 1999 and didn't know some of these things.
24 years?
@@NielsNL1 1999 is 24 years, yes you are correct
Awesome content as always, I learn something new from your videos all the time! The most exciting property I learned about in css recently is object-fit for images and video, if you'd like to set a specific width and height to the element you can use object fit to prevent any type of distortion or stretching.
I love this video particularly the use of GRID and animate elements using order var in-line style. Clamp() is super-cool.
Thanks🙏
This is by far the best TH-cam channel for programming. Period!
Best 10 mins I ever spent on TH-cam. Thanks!
I've never been this excited to work on CSS. This is great
Love these tips, thank you! Combining this with your following video (3 more life changing tips), I'm loving the possibilities of variables with HSL for dark theme support:
:root {
--H1: xx;
--S1: xx;
--L1: xx;
--text-color: hsl(var(--H1), var(--S1), var(--L1));
}
.light-theme {
--L1: 25;
}
.dark-theme {
--L1: 225;
}
I haven't tested this yet.
Wow, your videos are outstanding (judging by the 2 I've seem). This one provides so many useful upgrades to my CSS, and just the right time for me to "hear it". "When the student is ready, the teacher will appear". Thanks. Btw, I rarely subscribe to channels, but your presentation is just the way I like it. Reminds me of my favorite cuber channel (jperm).
At first, grid is very confusing. But once you understand it, it's a blessing to have. Super easy grids with barely any code that just. WORKS.
I learned pure/raw CSS before discovering CSS frameworks like Tailwind or Bootstrap. While working on a personal project, I realized the CSS was repetitive and thought, "I can make just one class and use it in any other element." That's when I learned about concepts like DRY, OOCSS, BEM, and Atomic CSS. Discovering these principles was a crazy exciting- I realized how handy they are. Then, I found CSS frameworks and thought, "This is what I've been doing but easier and faster." The beauty of learning is that it leads to these kinds of insights.
"The problem with this is that media queries will make you want to off yourself" that got me lmao
The first time I was introduced to media queries, I was like, "Wow, this is incredibly cumbersome. WTF? Who the hell would want to write 3 versions of the same layout?"
@@addanametocontinue I'm just beginning and I'm excited about media queries, your comment spoiled me

I just binged your channel today, then you dropped this video, it is a lucky day :)
You can edit box model properties in Chrome too in newer versions. For 02:11
Watched this video when I was beginner, I learned something new. Now, it just showed randomly and I just clicked and learned something new. Great video!
I've just watched a couple of your "code this, not that" videos (JS and CSS) and they are fantastic. The only problem now is that I feel utterly useless... I thought of myself as a pretty good front-end dev... but now I'm seriously trying to justify my salary - and I'm being serious. I'm going to dissect these videos as a starting point to bettering my dev abilities.... and there's a lot to learn. (a little bit of context: I've been a dev for over 20 years... and I'll be the first to admit that I haven't really kept up on the new facets of JS and CSS in the last few years. These videos have truly jolted me - I feel ashamed of myself)
Great content as always. The part where you explain centering with absolute, I believe top: 50% is 50% of the parent, same with the left. Therefore, the child is at the center of its parent. However, the child is centered by its top left corner so we need to transform the child -50% (which is now 50% of the child width/height) to correctly center it by its center.
Difficult? Man I can dream CSS.
This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever watched... Maybe CSS isn't too bad.
The Firefox Developer edition browser is mental. And the grid and flex layouts are so helpful
Mind blown from the amount of useful information condensed into such a small footprint🤯
I knew all of this and still enjoyed it 💯

Loved it 💯.
I am working with CSS for about 2 years but didn't know about clamp and focus-within. You saved my life ❤️
One tip (I learned the hard way!) for child element positioning -- the parent element must have it's default inherited position stated (position: relative;) in order for the child to have positioning. If position is only stated for the child, it won't work.
In the modern times, where we have Kevin Powell, web dev simplified and fireship, CSS can be learnt much faster and not to mention, save you time and energy from a lot of complex or annoying situations. I advise everyone to learn it.
Nice video as always!
For the sake of learning how CSS works avoid framework or utility class is necessary but after you understand how it works using those tools is a lot of time saving for sure
2 year experience coding in one video 9 minute 👏
One of the best things I found to do with CSS is to use an idea found in Bootstrap - create small styles as building blocks and apply those small styles to the different elements - like for example I created a few styles called fs-x_x going from fs-0_5 incrimenting by 0_1 up to 3_0 - in each of those styles I had one line of CSS font-size : and then the number followed by em so fs-0_5 would be font-size:0.5em; fs-3_0 would be font-size 3.0em - that way if I wanted to make the font size bigger or smaller I could just add the class fs-x_x to the element. I based this idea on some of the things that bootstrap does like the my- or px- classes which change the padding/margin by a set amount.
I also did the same with colour c- and bg-
That way if I wanted a bit of text "brand red" with "brand yellow" background, a bit smaller than the other text with no X padding and a large Y margin I could always do
A small note: top: 50%; left: 50% doesn't move the element to the bottom right. It moves the elements top left corner to the center, and translating it back 50%; moves it back half of its own width and height
CSS pro tip: use hsl rather than hex colour codes. They make more sense once you get your heard around them!
Good call! You win th-cam.com/video/JSURzPQnkl0/w-d-xo.html
thanks, fellow greek coder
I think there is talks in the works to have this replaced soon though, for everyone that keeps learning different colour models. LCH is similar to HSL but its big advantage is the lightness of colours is perceived equally between different hues.
Everything makes sense when you get your head around it. 🙂

literally every chapter my reaction was "whatt?! no way", honestly i didnt even know these existed until now. thank you for making my love towards programming ever grater :)
I just clicked on your channel after watching the rpi server one, and you made this video minutes ago lolz
Welcome to the channel :)
This channel has 840K subscribers at the moment, and I still think it’s underrated. Absolutely the best presentation of any tech channel BY FAR. Love it.
Currently taking a intro coding class and we are just starting on css, definitely gonna come back to this video for help.
Cool video, learned a lot of new stuff during these 10 minutes!
Though you have an error around 2:43. When centering divs the old way (by absolute positioning and translation), you don't move the item to the bottom right corner first, but instead you move it to the center actually. But it is going to be slightly off, because now the top left corner of the child element is in the center, not its actual center, so that is why you need the translate property.
One takeaway here is that the first two 50% values are referring to the parent container's size, but the translate property uses the child element's size for the 50% calculations.
But I guess you know this, just made a mistake in this video.
My Favourite CSS Pro tip:If you want to use responsive font size instead of using different font sizes using media queries for different screen. You can use as below:
font-size: calc(1em+1vw);
Great video. I still prefer Sass though, merely for nested CSS and (in my opinion) easier variable definitions.
Man, CSS IS AWESOME. I just use it, every time, and I like it a lot, didn't knew people felt that way, once a dude congrats me for doing some basic styling and I was like... really? I would like to help everyone to use it, like you are doing, great video!
I haven't see any video that is so short, so simple and so amazing, THANKYOU VERY MUCH
Two defining moments of the 21st century-
1. The day I was born.
2. The day I learned the box-modal.
really man? I hate CSS if that helps I will jump on it right now. thanks.
Sooo my boss changed every html emoji class to normal names but didn't change the CSS ones
and its my weekend(Friday,Saturday)
yeaaah anyone else hiring?
😂
Use SCSS or other CSS preprocessors is stonks and make the development experience faster.
I searched for this comment, its way superior.
Thank you for your video. Clamp(), counter for header number and passing css variable in style to order was totally new to me.
The title counter blew me!!! Perfect video. Learned 1 thing after a while!!!
