CSS doesn’t need to be frustrating

Many designers and developers are self-taught — that includes me! There’s nothing wrong with that, but learning on-the-go sometimes means that core concepts are overlooked.

Classic examples would be:

• Why don’t margins work as I expect?
• Why does padding break my layout?
• What’s the difference between padding and margins, really?
• Which unit should I use for font sizes: px, em, rem or something else?
• What’s so wrong with !important?
