A Complete CSS Flexbox Course and a Real World Website Project

Description

Before Flexbox arrived on the screen, we had to use relative or absolute positioning, floats clears and 100s of lines of code to achieve a decent website layout. All of that's changed now. With CSS Flexbox, you can layout your website's design in just a few lines of code, and even make it responsive! No more frameworks like Bootstrap to make up for the shortcomings in CSS. Become a professional web designer in just a few hours. If you know the very basics of HTML and CSS, you're all set. Spend a few hours learning a bunch of Flexbox syntaxes, and you'll be creating awesome web layouts in no time at all! You don't need to learn a bunch of frameworks to become a pro web designer now! We'll be using a real-world example to explain the concepts. All the code and supporting files for this course are available at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/A-Complete-CSS-Flexbox-Course-and-a-Real-World-Website-Project
