New year, new courses!
Free courses and resources on sale!
🎉🥳🎊Happy new year!🎉🥳🎊
We hope you’re doing well in this brand new year. We have some exciting announcements for you about new courses and a resource on sale, as well as a new free video for you.
🎉 FREE course at Frontend Masters for a limited time! 🎉
Jen’s new course, “Getting Started with CSS,” is available for FREE at Frontend Masters for a limited time. Style text, images, navigation, headers, footers, and more, learning techniques that will carry into future CSS work.
More advanced developers may enjoy the problem solving aspects of this course. First, we write semantic markup. Then we worry about styling that markup, adding classes and extra HTML elements only as needed to execute the design. The result is clean, accessible markup that isn't over-engineered.

🎊 New YouTube video: Centering in CSS🎊
There are at least three ways to center something in CSS:
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
and Flexbox techniques.
Which is best? What’s old-school? Why don’t these “work” all of the time? You’ll be SHOCKED to know that It Depends - what are you trying to center? Center relative to what on the page? Jen explains it all in the new YouTube video and CodePen example where you may follow along.
🎙🎥 Podcast: No-Code Technologies and Development with Screaming Box 🎙🎥
No-code development is a type of web development that allows non-programmers and programmers to create software using a graphical user interface, instead of writing code.
In this month's ScreamingBox Technology and Business Rundown Podcast, we ask Jen what she means by teaching about building “Quality Websites”? What does she mean by that and how does No-Code fit into that teaching? In the past No-Code elements were not very flexible or customizable, has that changed recently? How do developers add customization to No-Code projects? How has No-Code developed in the last few years? Should you use a design tool like Figma first, or should you design right in the No-code platform like Webflow? What does she see for the future of No-Code platforms and as a business direction for developers and agencies?
