As a beginner, I know you have a site that you rely on for the development of you skills. But, that site might not be enough at times and this is why I decided to be gathering tips, tricks and other resources that can add on what you learn from those sites.

You're not alone unless you desire to be. So, show up and let's learn together!

Though the name favors beginners, the article is not entirely for them. Some of the contents, as you'll see for yourself, can be useful to seniors too.

So let's get in and explore.

Una.css's episodes titled, 'Designing in the browser.'

I watched just two of her youtube videos lastweek, since then I have fallen in love with what she shares. I feel like a found the right place to learn about designs and tricks with CSS:

The two videos above taught me a number of things. Una.css is just a great guru. You might just want to learn something from her too, if you like this.

Chris Bongers's tip: Changing the text color based on its background color.

Though one can make color changes in CSS using other methods, Chris's tip is worth knowing especially if you're a beginner.

Code exactly Chris's👇

HTML:

    <div class="text-container">
    <h1>Difference</h1>
    </div>
    <section></section>
    <section></section>

CSS:

 section {
  width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
  background: #000;
  &:nth-child(odd) {
    background: #fff;
  }
}
.text-container {
  position: fixed;
  width: 100vw;
  height: 100vh;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  color: #fff;
  mix-blend-mode: difference;
  h1 {
    font-size: 150px;
  }
}

Don't forget to make friends on Twitter!
Twitter becomes way more fun that way.

Send someone a DM, especially someone with the same amount of followers as you, and send a message that's more than just 'hello' or 'hi'

I've been trying this a lot too lately and it's really fun

Make friends on twitter, and make friends offline too. Communication paves a way for connections, connections begins with friendship....
