    This is just the way I learned it...

    I had a crash course in college and I think it helped me understand CSS generally, but not much more. Once you have an idea of how it works, you can learn specifics by looking at other people's code in combination with w3schools. Also just do some reading on web standards because learning it right the first time saves you a lot of time later.

    It's tough at first because it's all seems so foreign, but stick to it and don't try to do too much at once. Try to solve each problem and make sure you understand all of the hows and whys.

    Just so you know, I wouldn't consider myself knowledgeable on the subject, but I had to teach myself and make it work. I never really had the patience for tutorials or books, but if that works for you it's probably a good way to go as well.

    This method kind of sucks because it's hard to explain to name a single really helpful resource, but I did learn a lot just by picking at this guy's code:

    • cool, yeah I think once i've gathered some momentum I'll be ready for thatProjectile
