In this course you’ll gain a deep understanding of HTML and CSS, as we dive into how these technologies really work. We’ll look at the problems HTML and CSS are trying to solve and how they solve them. We’ll dive into how browser rendering engines really work. We’ll gain confidence to read and understand the HTML and CSS specifications, so you can continue to teach yourself in the future and keep your skills fresh.
Along the way we’ll follow our core philosophy of “Don’t Imitate, Understand”. Simply copying others’ projects won’t help you when faced with a real-world job that doesn’t look like the projects you’ve copied. To succeed in a real world job, you need to truly understand.
