New comment by Kagerjay in "Ask HN: Best book or resource to REALLY grasp CSS?"

I have a solid grasp of CSS to debug anything that comes up, and just enough knowledge to build a small bootstrap-like framework. However, there are some advanced concepts I do not yet understand with related to animations / mathmatical / sass based layouts (the really interesting things in codepen). I don't fully yet understand all the things you can do with hybrid javascript + css related to animations

CSS doesn't require a huge amount of conceptual knowledge, but rather pure memorization / practice of many techniques.

I went through lynda.com's 3 video tutorials on CSS, and a few their SCSS/SASS videos. I don't know if this is the best way to learn this, but it did go through all the fundamentals. Wesbos had a few good videos on javascript30 related to CSS (such as root variables). Most of what I learned through CSS is writing my own themes to popular notetaking tools, and modifying wordpress themes

I personaly prefer to use css-tricks.com and smashingmagazine. Books aren't a great resource for this topic IMO, we are talking about CSS here. There are plenty of good articles on nicely made sites.

Copying things from dribbble is what I see what most advanced CSS developers do
