Hey everyone, thanks for watching the video! I want to be super clear on what a real frontend interview loop looks like to make sure this video isn’t giving anyone a false impression. Most likely you will not have a pure CSS interview. Depending on the company, you might be asked a frontend question involving some CSS (e.g. the interview we did on Clement’s channel combined with ideas from this one), or you might be asked some high-level CSS questions like the ones Clement asked me in the beginning of this video. There’s also a chance CSS doesn’t get mentioned at all. I have seen some instances of pure CSS interviews, but these do tend to be for specific jobs that will require a lot of CSS knowledge. All that said, I do think practicing CSS is important, and it can oftentimes give you a way to stand out from the “average” developer. If you are preparing for frontend interviews, I would always advise to spend most of your preparation time on JavaScript questions along with standard data structures & algorithms.

For your first vide ever(!) you have a great amount of confidence talking in front of camera.
Both your voice and tone are calm which makes it pleasant to listen to.
Obviously you have a great potential to become a rather successful youtuber.
Keep up the good work. 💪

*For anybody wondering:* At 14:37 by adding a padding you created a barrier between the default margins of the h3 elements in the column preventing their "margin collapse". Thats why the margin of h3 was "in" the box after adding the padding just making it look like the padding was big.

This is really the level of CSS interview asked in companies as I have no idea as I am a student, I was also able to replicate the above thing and answer the questions so that means I am good in CSS ?. Can do lot more than this from animation to design.

I have been coding for about 2-3 months and the first question got me… I was like a box what? Then I realized (once you started to answer the question) I knew what he was asking but I never knew what it was called. Great content man!! Keep up the work you’re helping people in so many ways !!

[bezuvuyo]

When i learn from you i feel more productivity and more motive to become a front end dev i learned to become a front end dev for the last 3 to 4 months but i have problem in css and js also wanna learn more about angular hope to follow your frontend course on Algo-expert!

[vegeta]

Great video! Love how you explained each of the properties you added, by adding flex, and align-items. And using flex-wrap. This is awesome!!

[SEWebDesign]

You can't make pseudo elements clickable just FYI. Since they aren't part of the DOM you can't bind events to them. Nice video!

[Latuza]

I learned so much css just from this. can u do videos on flex box, grid tutorials?

[briankgarland]

I found that to be really easy, which is nice as it means my front-end skills are coming along nicely.

[Muphet]

i had a harder css interview for junior dev recently than this. they expected me to know all best optimization practices and animation techniques rather than just style an element

[nightcoderk]

Good stuff. I did learn a few things. Thanks!

3:21 Can we rewrite this HTML? This looks like a list of lists and there's no way that a screen-reader would be able to present the status to users.

[chanjusingha]

Hello Sir, I want to be a expert in Front End. Keep uploading videos that could help in a beginner perspective.

[ahmedezzeldin]

God made you a brother to me, but you chose to be a mentor for me. And I want you to know that you were great at being both. Happy birthday bhai!

[elg]

[filipecabete]
