Expanding your CSS knowledge

Expanding your CSS knowledge takes practice. Luckily, we'll be using HTML and CSS even as we create backend applications. It's highly recommended to experiment with the many properties out there, or look at others' work and see what they did (Codepen is a great resource). Reading blogs can also provide insight into the various styling techniques out there. This is especially important if your interests lie in front-end development.
