Build Modern Layouts with CSS Grid
The CSS Grid Layout introduces a two-dimensional grid system allowing both fixed and flexible track sizes to be defined. This allows for easy management of an app's layout.
You'll start with an empty HTML file with minimal global styles applied in your CSS file. You will then iteratively add sections and items to your HTML page to structure through a CSS grid.
You'll also learn how to control a grid's columns and rows and define the size of each respectively.
By the end of the course, you'll have a fully responsive landing page that behaves how you expect it to on any device.
What you'll learn:
- Grid is a set of intersecting horizontal and vertical lines defining columns and rows.
- Elements can be placed onto the grid within these column and row lines
- fr unit represents a fraction of the available space in the grid container
- Flexbox is one dimensional vs. CSS Grid is two dimensional.
- The implicit vs. explicit grid
Questions to Think About:
- What are the tradeoffs of using CSS Grid?
- When should I introduce CSS Grid into my projects?
- How can I keep accessibility in mind when creating two-dimensional layouts?

Great summary of the major features of CSS Grid. Would have liked a peek at the HTML at the start of each lesson to save some guesswork, otherwise very useful.

I loved that it's fast and small, but some of the concept about alignement for the header and logo wasn't clear to me -> Making all the elements "aligned" with the grid-template-columns: 1fr; trick is still a mystery to me

Flexbox is a wonderful tool built into the CSS specification. Using flexbox doesn't require any special framework or library, just a browser with CSS3 support. It is so awesome, and makes the arranging elements on a page almost fun!
