Course Overview
Get a hands-on, in-depth look at building CSS Flexbox layouts
Once upon a time building functional, responsive web layouts required hacking, lots of JavaScript, and more than a few CSS floats. Then came Flexbox, a layout mode for CSS that got rid of all the headaches. This online course will get you up to speed on the latest version, introduce you new even better features, and help you get to grips with Flexbox in a hands-on, practical way.

Learn Fundamental Flexbox Concepts
This course is intended for those who have a working knowledge of HTML and CSS, and who are comfortable coding by hand and navigating through code. With an emphasis on in-depth, hands-on training, you'll learn the latest techniques for building and managing functional CSS-based web layouts.
To start off, you'll be introduced to fundamental Flexbox concepts and terminology, as well as the other essential knowledge you'll need to know before going further. From there, the lessons get progressively more hands-on and challenging. You'll cover flex containers, flow axis directions, flex widths, axis spacing and alignment, establishing element flexibility, working with nested flex containers, and more. Each section includes a practical exercise to put your skills to the test, and a quiz to help compound your knowledge.
If you want to push your HTML, CSS and web design skills further, if you want to learn the latest in CSS web layout techniques, or if you just want to know the secret to building responsive, mobile layouts with minimal code, then this online course is a must.
About Flexbox
Flexbox, or the CSS Flexible Box, is a layout mode in CSS that allows designers to build and manage website layouts quickly and easily. Arrange each page element and test on different screen sizes (i.e. desktop, mobile, tablet) and display devices to ensure your code behaves accordingly. It was created to replace float and table layout hacks, making life much easier for designers and developers everywhere.

This has been really great so far. I sort of skipped form HTML and CSS to React and never learned FlexBox. I'm not a coder either but my new job uses a lot of flex box and so it has some implications for design that I can set up so it can be easier for devs to replicate my designs. This course is helping me get there. Thanks!

long intro, didn't care about all that, you talk about yourself a LOT. Terminology went VERY slow also...maybe pictures would just speed it along some. Just my personal opinion. Not bad though...just not great. After getting through a few lessons, it still runs a little slow for me, ...but I'm learning, so it's good I guess. One part I was VERY dissapointed with was the explanation of flex-grow. You do realize you are teaching programmers here, yes? Blowing over stuff you either can't explain, or don't know the answer to, just doesn't cut it. So, for those who want to the answer to the question "how much" does the number affect the grow amount 'exactly' ? ...the answer is here: https://css-tricks.com/flex-grow-is-weird/ (very good pictorial explanation) I am well past 1/2 way...and this course is really dragging...it's taking a very long time to get through some rather basic information. But...when I registered, it was the only flexbox tutorial, so I'm going to finish it, ...no matter what. :-( OK, finished. It took like 12 hours to get through the videos, doing very little 'side play' ...but you get a 3 hour cert at the end...wow. ?? Something doesn't balance out here. But I do know flexbox now ...that's good.

The pace is good and the concepts are very clear. The instructor makes sure there are no mixups in the definitions and terminology used.
