CSS Grid is an incredibly powerful tool for building layouts on the web, but like all powerful tools, there's a significant learning curve. In this tutorial, we'll build a mental model for how CSS Grid works and how we can use it effectively. I'll share the biggest 💡 lightbulb moments I've had in my own learning journey.

    As someone returning to make simple web UIs after a long stint in backend, and not wanting to learn a heavy JS framework, this is massively useful. CSS has gotten a lot of new tricks since I last checked!

    Since using tailwindcss, grids became my favorite layout. After reading this article, that is even more the case.

    This is a great resources for css-grid newbies, but for a single page reference with all the info I need, I rely on: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/complete-guide-grid/

    It’s basically an online book on grid-css that takes a while to read through in it’s entirety, but after doing it a few times you’ll understand grid on a deeper level.

    Once you understand the layout, you can quickly find what you’re looking for. The rough rules for the site are:

    1. Content lives is accordions, hide what you don’t want to see.
    2. The grid’s container info is on the left column
    3. The grid item info is on the right column

    When starting out, Josh Comeau’s free tutorials were awesome. I felt like I understood Flexbox so well after reading his article. He does a great job explaining it all.
