Getting up to speed with CSS

Written on August 5, 2025

I'm good at python. I like python. I learn on the go, for my job as a neuroscientist doing coding-heavy analysis of large datasets. As you can guess from the existence of this blog, I'm a keen learner and strive to learn things thoroughly and well.

With python, I've felt like I can grok concepts from just trying things out, inspecting the code of other good programmers, and with help from stack overflow and ChatGPT.

But with CSS styling, I feel like no matter how many examples I see, no matter how many little pages I make, it's too frustrating for me to feel like I really know it!.

That changes now.

This is the first of many pages where I'll start to really learn the core concepts of CSS so I become an expert. Let's do it.
