🗣️ Modern CSS in 1 Hour
Ahmad Shadeed, of “Debugging CSS” fame, recently noted that “over the past two years, CSS has evolved so much that keeping up with all the new features feels like a full-time job.” The bad news is that the average developer already has a full-time job, likely with plenty of competing responsibilities outside of work, too. In this economy, that makes keeping up with modern CSS a pretty big ask.

The good news, however, is that the part of the FEDSA team(Schalk Venter, Justin Slack, and Schalk Neethling) will attempt to divide and conquer modern CSS by each tackling three key aspects of it. Together, they’ll distil things down enough to cover the entirety of CSS in 2026 in a single hour.
