Being a backend developer, I've always assumed CSS to be magical.
Recently I needed to learn CSS to make my website viewable, so I started with w3schools. But the pace was too slow, and it made me search for other alternatives. A good amount of SEO friendly sites containing the list of best CSS books suggested `CSS In Depth - Keith J. Grant`. With low hopes, I thought to give it a try just for a day but it did not disappoint me. Being a CSS noob I liked the way `Layout` concept was presented. It started with `float` and ended with `grid` with a couple of chapters in between dedicated to `flex` and other techniques. Then it picks up responsive design. The concepts were presented in such a way that it became a responsibility for me to replicate whatever the author has done in the chapters. It was a satisfactory experience.
Afterward, it presents the transition and animation related concepts which I read but I've forgotten because of not using them in day to day work.
