CSS Grid is revolutionizing the frontend web-design industry. For the last 20 years, web designers have used CSS to lay out web pages. However, CSS has always been missing some key functionality. Designers had to rely on workarounds, such as tables, floats, and positioning. CSS Grid is different and better. CSS Grid allows you to create a grid-based layout system, using columns and rows. You don't have to use any workarounds. You don't have to use different hacks for different browsers. You don't have to install any extra frameworks. CSS Grid has been around since 2011, but has recently exploded in popularity. Almost all major browsers support CSS Grid. The only exceptions are Internet Explorer 11 and Opera Mini.

Flexbox Explained is a fun and enjoyable introduction to Flexbox. Over the last fifteen years, Jorge and Steve have worked as web designers. It's been a fascinating time. For many years, the most popular way to design websites was with frameworks such as Bootstrap and Foundation. These frameworks were necessary because they added many features that we needed. The core features of CSS weren't enough for modern web development. However, in recent years, the developers behind CSS worked to create "modules" including CSS Grid and Flexbox. These provide many of the features we need, but without requiring us to install anything. You can use Flexbox simply by writing code in a file and opening your browser. That's what we do throughout this book! You'll learn Flexbox by completing exercises that explain all the key properties of Flexbox.
