Two awesome Flexbox courses you can start today
Want to build elegant looking websites? Flexbox can make some of the more complex aspects of CSS surprisingly simple. Best of all, Flexbox is easy to get started with. Ultimately, there are 12 different properties to memorize, but you can get started with just three of them. Plus, you can sprinkle in Flexbox to any website. You could use it in one layout component, a couple, or build your entire site using it. You see, it’s flexible.
As a self-taught web developer, I’ve been learning for the better part of three years. And as I’m sure you’re aware, there are a ton of resources available on the internet for learning just about anything. Today’s article revolves around a couple great courses for learning Flexbox. I hope you enjoy each of these courses as much as I did! If there’s a course you’d like to recommend, please shout it out in the comments.
