When creating a grid layout, the CSS looks like this, for example:
.grid-1 {
width: 6.5%;
}
.grid-2 {
width: 15%;
}
.grid-3 {
width: 23.5%;
}
There is a max of 12 grid columns. With grids, when you make the screen very large, the grid size (in pixels) provides a maximum size for the content. This is nice, so the format remains readable. With floats, flexboxes, and grids, CSS gives us a variety of tools to accomplish what we need.
I finished the CSS Layouts course today! The next course is called Aesthetic Foundations, and it's composed of the classes "Elements," "Principles," and "Color Theory." I'm looking forward to it! A couple of weeks ago, I knew nothing about web design. Two weeks or so after that, I could create a basic webpage. Now, I can create a good-looking website, but I'm still getting in the practice necessary to be able to whip one up according to a client's exact specs. Web development has been fun to learn because every day I learn something new that enhances my toolkit. I'm really enjoying this, and I'm curious about the possibilities that Ruby, and perhaps Javascript after that, will open up.
