CSS Reference is a human-friendly, example-driven reference for CSS that focuses on how properties behave in practice rather than only listing their syntax. Each entry explains what a property does, shows concise examples, and illustrates the visual result so you can internalize concepts quickly. The reference highlights common pitfalls and “gotchas,” helping you avoid surprises when mixing layout modes like Flexbox and Grid or when dealing with overflow and positioning. It favors clarity and progressive learning, moving from simple cases to more nuanced behavior and interactions between properties. Because it is written with learners in mind, the explanations are short, visual, and paired with minimal code you can copy and adapt. It’s a useful companion for day-to-day front-end work, code reviews, or quick refreshers before tackling complex layouts.
