If you’re a CSS Pro, just scroll to the end of the post – we’ll be needing your smarts there, but if your fairly new to the game, I hope this post helps you out, whether by my experience or a much cooler and experienced CSS’er (CSS’er? Not a word, but you knew what I meant. If only CSS was that forgiving, right?).
I’ve put together some of my favorite spots to go for CSS help and knowledge.
First and foremost, this is the best spot I’ve found to begin learning code junk: w3schools. To begin your CSS journey, this is the place to start. They’ve got a great reference, and of course, you can always search for the term you need help with. The coolest thing about w3schools, is you can try the code and manipulate it.
If you haven’t heard of nettuts+, you have now. They’ve got some cool stuff over there, but this here is a gem. By the way, don’t let the title overwhelm you, but you’ve got to read: The 30 CSS Selectors you Must Memorize
Here’s a newer one. I haven’t had a chance to play with it as much as I’d like, but it looks pretty nifty: CSS-101
Finally, CSS-TRICKS. Click around. They’ve got some more advanced CSS. It’s less of a dictionary style like w3schools and they have code snippets, downloads, etc … One of the best ways to see how advanced CSS works, is to look under the hood. Grab some snippet, snag a download and start dissecting!
Now, this is where we need the CSS Pro’s to jump in, too (totally wanted to say Pro CSS’er).
What are your favorite spots for beginner and advanced CSS?
GO!

Not all the information on W3Schools is correct. http://w3fools.com/

Not a problem. I am a sucker for good clean correct code. Check out http://dev.opera.com, they have some really great information on learning HTML5 and CSS3.
