00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,990
I want to thank you for watching CSS Fundamentals.

2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:05,990
I hope that you feel better prepared to begin learning CSS and that you have a

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,990
better overall understanding of how CSS works than when you started.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,990
I want to leave you with a couple of additional resources that I haven't yet

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:16,990
mentioned in this title. Let's go ahead and take a look at those.

6
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,990
The Web Developer's Handbook has one of the most massive lists of CSS resources

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,990
that you'll find anywhere.

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:29,990
They offer links to inspirational sites, tutorials, blogs, tools, and services, and more.

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,990
Now, some of the links in tutorials are a little old, but that's actually not a bad thing.

10
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:37,990
Understanding some of the challenges that designers have faced over the years

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,990
regarding CSS will give you a better perspective of its present state. Plus,

12
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,990
many of the older links to tutorials features techniques that are still being used today.

13
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,990
Since almost every tutorial or site that I would recommend you visit is already

14
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,990
listed in the handbook, I just want to mention one or two more by name.

15
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:00,990
SitePoint's CSS Reference is clear, concise, and easy to navigate.

16
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,990
You can get the exact same information from reading the specifications, but

17
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,990
SitePoint's Reference is easy to read, has fantastic examples, and even better,

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,990
comes with a chart of browser support for the property that you are referencing.

19
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,990
This is a great reference for any designer, especially someone who is just

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,990
starting out with CSS.

21
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,990
I also highly recommend reading Chris Coyier's blog CSS-Tricks.

22
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,990
Chris posts some pretty impressive demos here, although some of them might be a

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,990
little complex for a beginner.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,990
What I really love about his blog though, is his clear approach to describing

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,990
CSS and his focus on where it's going.

26
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,990
This is a fantastic blog to read for both inspiration and staying informed with

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,990
what's going on in the world of CSS.

28
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,990
As always, I recommend checking out the large selection of CSS titles in the

29
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:55,990
lynda.com Online Training Library as well. We're adding new ones all the time and

30
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,990
feature CSS titles from some of the best minds in the business.

31
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:01,990
Well, that's all for now.

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,990
Feel free to drop me a line on my blog, simpleprimate.com, or through lynda.com,

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:06,990
and let me know how you're doing.

34
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,990
I'd also love to have you join the conversation on Twitter.

35
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,990

37
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:25,000
