Back to basics

Well, after tinkering a little with JavaScript and Claude.ai like I said in my previous post, I managed to make couple somewhat cool apps. Not even apps, more like code examples, maybe good for a portfolio? I don't know. But I decided that what I need right now is to go back to the basics (not the first time). So I started to refresh on some CSS. I see a lot of people kind of dismiss learning HTML and CSS well, or, maybe they tell you "you need to have a strong foundation" but then they seem to imply that you can get this in a matter of a few weeks and then move on to the next thing. There is so much to these "basics" that gets barely touched upon on all the "tutorials". So I'm trying to develop my own kind of CSS tutorial.

I'm not really claiming that this will be THE definitive CSS guide, anything but. It will probably be disorganized, a bit messy, incomplete. It probably won't even merit the name "tutorial" or "guide". That's why I'm calling it my own CSS deep dive; it's suposed be less about writing a structured guide from beggining to end and more about writing and reviewing and experimenmting with the topics that I myself need to understant better; it functions more like a notebook/playground for myself than a tutorial or guide for some hypothetical audience, but I do believe that some people out there might find the information useful too. It's a work in progress, I hope it will be for a while, you can check it out here: CSS Deep Dive.
