What People Are Saying

  • If you want to understand grid layout (and you do), you should read this book. Mentally making the connection between syntax and finished product is tough at first, and Rachel’s clear explanation and use of diagrams really help conceptualize things. The next generation of CSS developers will laugh at us for not having used grids for layout before—learn the new spec and you’ll be laughing with them.

  • This is a fantastic guide to CSS Grid Layout. As you’d expect, Rachel guides us through the syntax of grid layout. But, equally important, she tells us why we should care about grid layout now, even though browser support is still in its infancy. This book brings you up to speed on what CSS Grid Layout is and how you can use it.
