Hey everyone! I’m really keen on improving my HTML and CSS skills, but I want to do it without getting caught up in backend stuff or content creation. I’ve dabbled in JavaScript and Node.js a bit, but I feel like I should nail down the basics of HTML and CSS first.
Does anyone know of good resources or platforms where I can just focus on writing HTML and CSS? I’m curious about how others learned these skills too.
Also, I’m currently using Sublime Text for coding. Are there any other editors you’d recommend specifically for working on HTML and CSS layouts? Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions!
hey silvia! have u tried codepen? its awesome for playin with html/css without worryin about backend stuff. u can see ur changes instantly! as for editors, vscode is pretty popular. it’s got tons of extensions for html/css. what kinda projects are u thinkin of building? maybe we could brainstorm some cool ideas!
For honing HTML and CSS skills without backend distractions, I recommend FreeCodeCamp’s responsive web design curriculum. It’s comprehensive and allows you to focus solely on front-end development. Another excellent resource is CSS-Tricks, which offers in-depth articles and tutorials on CSS techniques.
Regarding editors, while Sublime Text is solid, I’ve found Visual Studio Code (VSCode) to be particularly effective for HTML and CSS work. Its live preview feature and extensive marketplace of extensions tailored for web development significantly enhance productivity.
To practice, consider recreating layouts of popular websites or challenging yourself with daily UI challenges. This approach helped me solidify my understanding of responsive design principles and CSS positioning.
