Which course should I take
Hello,
I wanted to focus again on my html and css skills.
Now I happened to see that brad traversy https://www.traversymedia.com/modern-html-css-from-the-beginning had updated his html and css course that I bought once before. So i am re-doing this one again....
I also thought to do Kevin's course but which one would I do best after following brad's course? css Demystified or Beyond css what do you guys think

Modern HTML & CSS From The Beginning Course
In this course, we will start at the very beginning and by the end, you will be able to build modern responsive websites & UIs with HTML/CSS, including mastering flexbox, the grid system and even Sass.

Why not learn for free...?: https://www.w3schools.com/
Learning for free is valid, but paid courses curate and collate information for you in a focused way that can save a ton of time.
I haven't taken any of the ones listed here, but I do know that CSS Demystified is more about gaining a deeper understanding of CSS, where BeyondCSS is more about next steps like SASS and creating a design system. If you want to put them in an order (they're not directly related, but if you assume someone starting at zero knowledge), Demystified comes before Beyond CSS.
also, RE: w3schools specifically: A lot of their information is outdated, incomplete, or simply incorrect. I've found too many instances where they're just wrong in so many ways. It's much better to learn from MDN, the quality of information there is miles better
Time = Money + Money = Time, so I guess it's a decision for the OP to make in terms of time/money...
Interesting feedback on W3Schools though. Bit off topic, but can you provide any examples of where W3Schools is outdated, incomplete or incorrect..? MDN is certainly a better resource for developers, but W3Schools is a lot easier to learn/navigate if you're new or inexperienced to coding, hence why I suggested it over MDN.
I don't have any handy, no. Just my general experience of having them come up in search results over actual usable information for the last decade and a half
if they ever did a course on SEO, I'd take it in a heartbeat
Been using W3Schools (and MDN) for years (around the same duration as yourself, if not a little longer)... Never had an issue or seen anything incorrect... So, idk... 🙂
Their Responsive section is still reliant on floats, including their own "framework", which they recommend in several sections of their site... to be that's a huge red flag.
The font-size section is basically all examples of things you don't want to do... https://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font_size.asp
It's fine for quick examples of things, but it really feels like an old resource that hasn't been properly kept up to date at this point. I wouldn't suggest it as a learning resource these days, ther's a lot of better ones, including MDN. They have really good lessons there now too, it's not just for references.
I'd probably say, as far as free resources go, Google might have the best one right now: https://web.dev/learn
Thanks for the detailed response! I'll check out web.dev
I like to use a combination free and paid.
