Different Tricks on How to Make Bootstrap Columns All the Same Height
Bootstrap 3 (and now Bootstrap 4) are amazing CSS frameworks that can make the lives of developers of any skill-level easier. When I was more of a beginner and I first started using Bootstrap, I used every feature of it possible and used to hack it to get things to work the way I wanted. Now, with more experience, I mostly just use their reset and grid system. I now rarely alter any of its core functionality.

CSS Specificity Wars
This entry was published on October 7th 2005 and, incredibly, is still one of the most visited pages on my website, so twelve years later I decided to update it with a new graphic to print and pin near your monitor. If you find this useful, consider saying “thank you” with a small donation. Join me, and together we can rule the galaxy as father and geeks! In 2005 I saw Aaron explain how the specificity of CSS selectors is calculated in a way which I hadn’t seen before. Then I came across a problem while building templates for a new project where two selectors behaved differently to how I expected and I realised that I had not completed my Jedi training.

Write Better Media Queries with Sass
Let's face facts: media queries can be a pain. They're difficult to write and they tend to get duplicated a lot. Sass includes a few helpful features that make media queries easier to work with. This article will show you these tricks and how you can use them to simplify your stylesheets.
Child and Sibling Selectors
Do you know what the difference between these selectors are? I'll admit it took me longer than it probably should have (way back when) when I was learning the basics of CSS. In both cases, they are selecting list items that are children of unordered lists. But there is a difference between children and descendants.
Using media queries
Media queries are useful when you want to apply CSS styles depending on a device's general type (such as print vs. screen), specific characteristics (such as the width of the browser viewport), or environment (such as ambient light conditions). With the huge variety of internet-connected devices available today, media queries are a vital tool for building websites and apps that are robust enough to work on whatever hardware your users have. Media types describe the general category of a given device. Although websites are commonly designed with screens in mind, you may want to create styles that target special devices such as printers or audio-based screenreaders. For example, this CSS targets printers: @media print { ... }

10 principles for smooth web animations
There are dozens of ways to achieve animations on the web. For example, the filmstrip is an approach has been around since before the internet, with slightly different hand-drawn frame being swapped out many times a second to create the illusion of motion. Twitter recently used this simple approach for their new heart animation, flipping through a sprite of frames. This effect could’ve been done with a ton of tiny elements individually animating, or perhaps as an SVG, but that would be unnecessarily complex and probably not be as smooth.
CSS :empty Selector
Often, we want to style elements that contain content. How about when an element has no children or text at all? Easy, you can use the :empty selector 🤩 What's considered empty?

CSS: select first-of-class with the subsequent sibling combinator
There are a whole bunch of CSS selectors available to web developers, but sometimes there’s still not enough. I found this recently when building the speaking section of my site and wanted to use the non-existent :first-of-class pseudo class to apply some styles. The problem
Selectors Level 3
Abstract Selectors are patterns that match against elements in a tree, and as such form one of several technologies that can be used to select nodes in an XML document. Selectors have been optimized for use with HTML and XML, and are designed to be usable in performance-critical code. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a language for describing the rendering of HTML and XML documents on screen, on paper, in speech, etc. CSS uses Selectors for binding style properties to elements in the document.
