As much as I love flexbox, I had to look up the docs every single time I used anything more complex than display: flex and flex: 1. I never really felt like I had a solid grip on the technology. I'd gone through other flexbox tutorials, but it never really seemed to stick. Dave's Flexbox Zombies series is awesome because it goes super in depth with flexbox and has an engaging story. But what made it so valuable to me is the way he makes it stick. The unique format forced me to remember what I'd learned before. Now I no longer need to lookup the docs for complex flexbox layout. It's all in here, stuck in my head. Zombies and all :)
When I first adopted the flexbox layout I felt frustrated by the amount of nuances I encountered. I was so happy to come across Dave Geddes' game where he created a rich narrative explaining the CSS syntax, when and how to use each property. The lessons build on each other in a cadence that helps you return to the story over a period of time - rather than all at once - making the learning actually stick. Also you get to fight zombies! I shared Flexbox Zombies through my office and we all agree that it's a fun and highly effective way to learn flexbox.
The uniqueness of Dave's email course on Flexbox was just amazing. I loved it lots. I'm looking forward to future courses!
I really enjoyed Flexbox Zombies - It helped me to understand flexbox much better and I feel quite comfortable using it now.
