The features @miriam.codes has helped bring to CSS (Cascade Layers, Container Queries, Scope) have been rooted in a deep understanding of CSS’ _ethos_. They try to close the gap between how CSS could be used, and how it commonly is. If you want to close that gap in your own work (I do!), sign up

I’ll use the quote I did for this page. Miriam has a unique talent of being extremely technical with CSS but communicates that so seamlessly and so inclusively that regardless of what level you’re at now, you’ll be so far beyond that when you learn from her. A true super talent. A bargain!

This launches later today, and you should absolutely sign up! Miriam has an absurdly deep knowledge of CSS, and her teaching style is phenomenal. 💯

I consider myself a person who knows a lot about CSS... but @miriam.codes' knowledge eclipses mine by ~10,000%. She brings an artistry to the discipline of authoring CSS and I'm sure anyone – whether newbie or old-timer like myself – can learn a lot from her course.

I'm sad to miss you all at #CSSDay this year! Wish I could be there, and see all the great talks. In the spirit of the event, I'm launching my new #CSS course – Poetic CSS! The first module is ready, and early bird tickets will go on sale for the month of July. courses.oddbird.net/poetic-css/

Poetic CSS

Understand CSS as a system — so you can write, review, and maintain web styles with confidence on a timeline and under budget.

I'm excited that I've been selected to speak at DjangoCon this year! I'll be there to share a few of the many new things browsers can do natively like popovers and view transitions, and how to know if they are ready to use.

Listening to this episode of PodRocket with @miriam.codes and loving the way she's breaking down and expressing things in helpful, and enjoyably articulated ways... podrocket.logrocket.com/is-sass-dead...

Is Sass dead yet? Miriam Suzanne has thoughts.

Miriam Suzanne joins the podcast to unpack the surprisingly deep world of CSS value resolution, the browser program running beneath every website. She explains how cascade and inheritance work together, why CSS custom properties introduce invalid at computed value time errors, and how CSS functions and mixins change the game. Plus: is Sass actually dead, or does it still solve real problems that the browser can't touch?

I've been caught by this before, and I've seen other experienced #CSS devs get stuck on it: * { color: deepPink; } html#high-specificity { color: teal !important; } If we put that ID on the root, and some text in our document, what color will the text be?
