There were some topics not covered in class, such as the &#8216;position: sticky;&#8217; property-value pair in CSS. The article also went more in-depth on Flexbox, explaining some properties like &#8220;flex-direction&#8221; and the &#8220;flex-grow,&#8221; &#8220;flex-shrink,&#8221; and &#8220;flex-basis.&#8221; Furthermore, the author introduced the Grid Layout method of aligning content, for Flexbox is good for laying content on an axis, but not a grid, so this is where the Grid comes into play. For anyone interested in learning more about Grid Layout, the author recommends &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/gridbyexample.com\/\">Grid by Example<\/a>,&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.smashingmagazine.com\/2017\/11\/css-grid-supporting-browsers-without-grid\/\">Using CSS Grid: Supporting Browsers Without Grid<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to our assigned reading, we worked on the 9 Flexbox challenges for homework. The homework introduced properties such as &#8220;justify-content,&#8221; &#8220;flex-wrap,&#8221;  and the pseudo-class &#8220;:nth-child.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Practice, practice, practice . . . all products of quality are cultivated through time and practice.
