Description

This course is dedicated to the CSS Grid Layout module, a technological tool for creating grids in CSS. After the Flex module arrived, there was a need to control elements in two axes simultaneously. The developers wanted to take the grid system that has been used in print products for a hundred years. To do this, they used a table layout, a layout using Float and Flex. Each of these methods had limitations and development challenges. CSS Grid Layout appeared in 2011 and over the years has acquired many features and approaches that make it easier to create layouts using CSS.
