Excellent advice at 17:47 :"Flexbox and grid were designed so they would work amazingly together, and using flexbox items inside of your grid containers is one of the best ways to lay out a site." Thanks for your examples and your expert advice. Great work Kyle.

[@worldclasscode1847]

Are you sure it's good to place flexbox inside of grid? Why not flexbox in flexbox?

[@dokedoke0426]

@@worldclasscode1847 Cuz it takes up a lot more containers, css selectors and also a lote more repeated properties, IMO.

[@zombiefacesupreme]

@@dokedoke0426 yeah, it's pretty obvious. If you have four columns and four rows, that's one grid vs. four flexbox containers, etc.

if you are here, I beg you! can you explain me how as soon as he adds a new div, there's already color and text inside that div but he hasn't written any text in the main html file, how is this happening? and why is he using two css files? I understand the styles.css but what's the other background_styles.css doing? I don't understand, please explain!

[@ChantingInTheDark]

For those wanting to know how the DIVs are auto-numbered, it's these styles which are in the background_styles.css file (which isn't shown in the video but is available in the CodePen example) .grid-item::before { content: 'Grid Item'; position: absolute; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; top: 10px; left: 15px; } .grid-item::after { position: absolute; font-size: 18px; top: 10px; right: 15px; font-weight: bold; } .grid-item-1::after { content: '1'; } .grid-item-2::after { content: '2'; } Etc.

Putting in grid-gap before explaining how the column-end count works was a brilliant move because it really helped illustrate how that was included in the count. What a great video!

I have watched both flexbox and grid from your channel. Easy to understand, very clear and not at all verbose. Thank you bro for making me love with css.

This was by far the best explanation on using css grids I have spent 5 hours+ looking for a video like this. Keep up the great work this is amazing!

same here. so many examples that did not work, or overcomplicated it by showing "how to do grids by writing a raytracing animation at the same time" instead of just showin the basics. This tutorial was the best and most informative.

[@tuantranluuquoc2910]

what truly sets your tutorial apart from other coding tutorial is the pace. Yours is not too fast, or too slow, just the right amount of pace to attracts learners' attention, but not to much so that you won't scare learners away. Nice tutorial, brother!!!

[@GregDowns]

Beginners will be in confusion at 2:45 with you glossing over how the starting boxes were styled. I watched this video when I was starting out and I didn't know you'd created a separate css sheet for the visual styling. I thought I could follow along as-is and could never work out why I didn't have any blue boxes. In my naivete I thought that's what grid was supposed to do and was worried that mine wasn't! Now I come back with some knowledge I see that this ISN'T a beginner video. Great instruction otherwise. We need plenty more post-beginner/intermediate stuff.

[@caroltheman98]

This confused me too, but I saw that he had linked the background.css stylesheet to the document after reading your comment. Thought I'd leave a reply so people will know what's up if they get stuck

[@dannyr2976]

I thought the exact same thing. I saw a linked 'style.css' file but no parameters were included so still confused as where that styling came from.

[@danlearnstoplay2737]

@@Tenchi707 Hei man, i just started to learn html/css like a month ago but I think I can help with this one, basically, as you mentioned, he is using 2 css files. one is the one we see in the video to explain the grid , and the second one that is not showing, includes the css code to style the divs ( color background etc ). I'm guessing the reason for doing this is simply that the css file used for the tutorial is fresh without any clutter from the color / background colors attributes.

[@ruthwik8772]

for background_styles.css file, you could use something like this body { color: gray; } .header { text-align: center; } .grid-container { display: grid; } .grid-item { min-height: 100px; border-width: 10px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; background-color: skyblue; }

Hi Kyle, being new to css, with only minimal html knowledge, I am somewhat overwhelmed by all this new technology. One thing I've been researching recently is a way to create tables without using html TABLE tags. I figured the answer had to be flex or grid, but this is the first of several, let me stress SEVERAL, video's I've watched that actually answered this question for me, as well as differentiating between the two! Now it looks so amazingly simple! Thank you so much!!!

[@AlexTechie]

Great video, although I found it to be a bit confusing towards the end where the divs change width/height. Thankfully, you explained it well enough that you can fall back on that instead of the visualization. Anyway, I have a tip for people learning Grid: Firefox's built-in dev tools has support for Grid. To find it, just right click > inspect element > Layout tab. If the site uses Grid, an option will appear for it, so just click the checkmark for the grid in the Layout container and you'll see it displayed. There's also a few other options, like showing the tracks and individual names of the Grid items. As a beginner, this helped me out immensely in debugging why my Grids weren't working as expected.

[@WebDevSimplified]

Thanks for the feedback. Also, that is an amazing tip about the Firefox browser. I have always used Chrome's developer tools, which have some support for grid, but it sounds like Firefox is even better.

[@AlexTechie]

@@WebDevSimplified Personally, I love Firefox's dev tools. They've got built-in JSON viewer for both the dev tools and the browser. Also, they have a browser made just for developers. I haven't downloaded it, yet, but it looks amazing and people who have DL'd it say it's great. Here's a quick link: www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/
