What You Need to Know about Modern CSS (Spring 2024 Edition) – Frontend Masters Boost

March 27, 2024

My goal with this bookmarkable guide is to provide a list of (frankly: incredible) new additions to CSS lately. There is no hardline criteria for this list other than that these things are all fairly new and my sense is that many people aren’t aware of these things. Or even if they are, they don’t have a great understanding of them and could use a plain language explanation of what it is, why they should care, and a bit of reference code. Maybe that’s you.

Chris Coyier’s Flexbox Complete Guide has been my go to for flex for year now. An he’s just published this guide to new CSS features. Container Queries, Style Queries, Container Units, :has() sectors, view transitions, new syntactical and architectural features like nesting and scope and cascade layers (if you’re super old like me this is not the same as DHTML layers from the mid 90s!)

Great round up! And it turns out over thew last 2-3 years we’ve covered almost all of this at our conferences, so there’s plenty of related presentations here on Conffab!
