       Ask HN: Recommendation for Intermediate CSS Course?
        
       A co-worker asked for a recommendation for a good CSS course for
       them to learn further. They are not a total beginner and can do
       fairly complex styling and the like, however, they have been 100%
       self taught and so have picked up things that are just the wrong
       way of doing it.  Most intermediate courses I've found focus on CSS
       frameworks or precompilers and the like, he doesn't want this as
       most of their work is landing pages etc so the CSS course needs to
       focus on plain CSS with HTML.  Any recommendations?

       | While I haven't read his book [0], I always enjoy the articles by

       | 
       | I would also recommend the "thinking of ways to solve..." gui

       | 
       | Others have mentioned Josh W Comeau who definitely puts out good
       | articles as well.

       | In the end, as with everything programming related it comes down

       | really something you can only get better at by running into real
