Welcome to the course! In this module, we will start by reviewing the different ways in which designers and developers can create and control the flow of content on web pages. In other words, how the content on the page is laid out. We will see how these different systems of layout use different CSS properties to tell the browser how to display content on the page. Then we will dive specifically into the basics of CSS Grid and explore the properties that make this system work.
