OK @kevinpowell.co has written what has to be one of the best (if not THE best) practical article to #CSS colors I have read in a while. piccalil.li/blog/a-pragm...

Easy to read, practical examples, and *perfect* for someone like me who's fallen behind and hasn't kept up with all the new stuff.

Are you the type of dev who just copies and pastes hex codes?

If so, I've written an article over at @piccalil.li just for you!

I take a look at some of the new CSS colour features that are most useful for those who don't really care about colours.

This is an excellent read! There's some stuff around CSS and color I've missed in recent years while blinders focused on only longstanding work project (doing new/small projects often helps with staying on top of stuff), but @kevinpowell.co did an excellent job breaking a lot of stuff down.

I've read every single word of this course and let me tell ya, it's impeccable.

@wil.to’s knowledge of JavaScript is something else, but that's not the best part: it's the way he *explains* JavaScript.

I do rectangles — I started as a designer — and my JavaScript knowledge *now* is unrecognisable.

We don’t really have a need for cascade layers here, but a lot of people ask how to integrate them to their projects. Victor has a good strategy here for you.
