Ask HN: Best resources to learn modern HTML/CSS?

1 points by jamestimmins 3y ago ↗ HN

I'm an experienced backend dev, but with minimal frontend chops. What are the best resources for learning serious modern css/html, ideally with lots of practice problems?

Tried googling this, but it's been SEO/content marketed into oblivion so I don't even know where to ask this question.

I think if you are experienced and want to get started right away then picking up a YouTube tutorial playlist by any of the top tech YouTubers might work out for you.

Otherwise, freeCodeCamp's (New) Responsive Web Design certificate will make you comfortable with the syntax and DOM manipulation.

I'd recommend https://www.internetingishard.com/html-and-css/ as a good initial overview of HTML and CSS concepts.

Also, I wrote a "How Web Apps Work" blog series that was specifically targeted at folks coming from a Java or C++ background. It's an extensive overview of web dev terms and concepts, covering HTTP, client-side development, HTML/CSS/DOM, JS, and API calls:
