What students say..

I knew a lot about CSS already, but Russ presents some great information that's very easy to understand. I definitely learned some new skills about child and pseudo selectors. It's great that I could do some sample CSS coding along with the videos too.

Good refresher, plus learnt a few extra bits I hadn't known about before. A good course for beginners and going over the basics again.
