CSS Grid Explained: Your Step-by-Step Guide to CSS Grid
CSS Grid is revolutionizing the frontend web-design industry.
For the last 20 years, web designers have used CSS to lay out web pages. However, CSS has always been missing some key functionality. Designers had to rely on workarounds, such as tables, floats, and positioning. CSS Grid is different and better.
CSS Grid allows you to create a grid-based layout system, using columns and rows. You don't have to use any workarounds. You don't have to use different hacks for different browsers. You don't have to install any extra frameworks.
CSS Grid has been around since 2011, but has recently exploded in popularity. Almost all major browsers support CSS Grid. The only exceptions are Internet Explorer 11 and Opera Mini.
In this short but concise book, you are going to master the key ideas behind CSS Grid.
Key Features
What You'll Learn

You'll build everything from the most basic CSS Grid to a full site layout.

A useful book for learning CSS Grid
It is NOT a reference book
where you can look up the reference to a particular topic
it is a course which you follow
giving you a basic course in CSS Grid
which gets you going
It helped me build a CSS grid template for websites
and it worked.
I was surprised by the low rating of this book.
This seemed to be due to the confusion of purposes of computer books.
This is the text that goes with a course / is the course
disappointment comes if you assume it will be a reference.

Good book
helped to understand the basics very well. Also i think it is easier to understand because the author follows the same pattern for explaining various concepts with suitable examples. Good read!

Content was okay, but the graphics are so muddy and unintelligible that I won't be recommending it to any students.
