👉 CSS Demystified V2 is here - 20% off through April 7th: https://thecascade.dev/courses/css-demystified/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=launch

The original course was still great (in my opinion anyway 😅), but it was old and needed a refresh. Instead of updating it, I completely rebuilt the course from scratch, and on top of that, I built a custom course platform to host it on as well.

The updated version has over 60 lessons, with more than 200 videos, but it’s more than just a bunch of videos.

I rebuilt it from scratch on a custom platform because I wanted to create a real learning experience, not just a video series.

The course is mixed-media, with text, video, interactive demos, and a ton of challenges that let you see concepts in action and put what you are learning into action to make sure that you really are learning as you go through the course.

A practical walkthrough of common CSS layout bugs caused by overly prescriptive styles, specifically fixed heights and widths. The core lesson is a mindset shift: work with the browser instead of fighting it. Concrete examples show how removing fixed heights, replacing fixed widths with max-width, and separating layout concerns from component styles resolves overflow, spacing, and grid issues. The video also promotes the relaunch of a CSS course called CSS Demystified v2.

Stop fighting with CSS, forever
