Memorable Quotes:

"Working with CSS is like basic problem-solving. Similar to a puzzle, you benefit when you see the big picture first, then chip away at components of the page, working from the outside, inward. However, building a design in CSS is not just a matter of reproducing a static, pixel-perfect, mirror image of a mockup. It often involves the foresight to predict behavior when the unpredictable occurs."
