New Course Announcement

We have a huge gift for you today. Our existing HTML and CSS course has been completely reworked from the ground up.(You can find the new stuff in our full-stack Rails and JavaScript paths) The course that is being replaced was some of the oldest content on our site. Some of it dated all the way back to 2013 when Odin was first constructed, and it was really ready for a makeover.

The new content has been carefully crafted to give you the tools you need to be successful in modern web development contexts, and should help you to be able to make the projects you'll be creating in the rest of our curriculum really stand out. We cover many of the latest developments in HTML and CSS such as flexbox, grid, custom-properties (aka CSS-variables), and of course we have an updated section on 'responsive design', so that you'll be able to make your projects mobile-ready.

In addition to writing a ton of new content, we've also reconsidered the placement of this content in our curriculum. You'll notice that our HTML/CSS content is now split into two smaller courses (here and here). We want to give you the prerequisites you need to be successful, but we don't want you to feel bogged down by too much content before you get into the other JavaScript or Ruby courses.

If you were working on the existing HTML/CSS course, we would recommend going back and starting this new one from scratch. It really is better in every way. You can still find the old lessons on Github if you need to reference something.

Additionally, if you're working through our Rails or JavaScript curriculum, you'll see that this new stuff has been inserted before your current position. You can judge for yourself how you want to handle this. Feel free to finish your current course, or find a good mid-way stopping point before jumping back and completing this new content.

As always, this curriculum is a group effort, so when you inevitably find a missing comma, or some "interesting" grammar don't hesitate to submit a Pull Request to our curriculum repo and let us know.

Happy Styling!
