CSS refresher ideas after a 2 month break?

I'm on the Web Design track and I completed "How to make a website" and "CSS Basics" but then I took a break and I'm just now getting back to Treehouse. I started CSS Selectors today and it's like starting from zero. I don't really remember anything! Any suggestions for a refresher. I'd rather not go back through all the coursework I've completed, but I will if I have to! Thanks.

Build something!

Best refresher I know of is finding a design (of your own or someone else's) and replicating it in code. You'll stumble through a few things, but Googling will bring up good resources that will refresh your memory. Plus, very few people can be 100% fluent in all the languages they need 100% of the time, so this method of finding reference material and code samples is good practice anyway.

I agree with Austin. I tend to go through the courses so I can become familiar with the language, syntax, possibilities etc. When I want to build something I have a rough idea of what tools I need and I know what refresher courses I need to take.

I'm on the same situation here, for start I design a new simple website on Sketch and then tried to replicate in Atom with HTML & CSS. Before I know I started to remember things that I don't even remember to know :)
