Mastering CSS Grid

Understanding the Basic Rules and Structures for CSS Grid

Welcome to the first chapter of this book titled Mastering CSS Grid. As the title suggests, this book helps us to become pros at this layout technique and learn about all its specialties and details. Throughout the book, we’ll work on various tasks using grid layouts in an overarching project called Awesome Analytics.

In the first chapter of this book, we will start introducing you to CSS Grid. We must first establish its basic CSS rules to understand how the grid model works. To do that, we’ll look at how grids are structured and how we can visually represent them. We’ll learn about the CSS rules used to create grid layouts, how to combine them to achieve different arrangements, and how to use shortcut rules to shorten our code.

A look at how the development tools of Google Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers visualize grids will help us understand how we can debug and understand existing grids. This chapter will not work with our overarching project just yet—we’ll first cover some theory.

So, in this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding the basic rules related to CSS Grid
  • Using grid templates
  • Grid flow
  • Understanding special grid-related units, keywords, and functions
  • Using shortcuts

The book is an incredibly comprehensive and pragmatic guide to mastering CSS grid. It offers well-written and well-structured content that not only addresses common CSS issues but also provides practical solutions.I highly recommend this book to anyone working with CSS who wants to gain a thorough understanding of the intricacies of the CSS grid system.If you're new to CSS layouts using grid and seek a solid technical foundation, this book is an excellent starting point. It is written exceptionally well and includes fantastic examples. While it may be more technical for those unfamiliar with CSS, don't let that discourage you from purchasing this book. I'm excited to see the amazing things people will create after reading it!This book takes a systematic approach to teaching CSS Grid and offers a project to work on as you progress through the chapters. It assumes that readers already have knowledge of HTML and CSS, which I believe is a positive aspect. It's advisable to have a solid understanding of the base languages that Grid modifies before delving into it.

I've only had a chance to get through the first chapter so far. If you are already familiar with HTML and CSS, this is a great resource for diving into CSS Grid. It can be pretty overwhelming getting into a new code feature without any direction. This book takes you through CSS Grid in a systematic way and includes a project to work with as you go through the book. This book definitely assumes that the reader already knows HTML and CSS, but I don't see that as a negative. You probably shouldn't be jumping into Grid if you don't already know the languages it is modifying.

CSS Grid has always been my Achilles heel. I've always used Flexbox to structure my pages and I never really understood why someone would choose Grid over Flexbox. After reading a few chapters, I can definitely say I understand it a lot more and it's made me understand that they can both complement each other! The book takes you through several hands-on examples and is very detailed. You'll find yourself coming back to the book whenever you need guidance.
