This is an incomplete list of resources including courses and individuals who publish content that has helped me grow as a web developer and designer. Many of these resources are WordPress-specific as that is my current area of specialization. This list will grow over time. If you've got something to add, send me a link @kevinwhoffman and I'll check it out!

| /* | |
| This mixin allows us use CSS grid without having to think about | |
| what -ms-grid-row/-ms-grid-column we have to assign to a grid element | |
| for it to properly work on Internet Explorer and Edge. | |
| It takes three arguments, the last one of which is optional. Specify the | |
| maximum amount of items you want to have in your grid, when they should | |
| break to the next line and, if you like, a grid-gap of some sort. |

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.
This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso
