tips and tricks to improve my skills (front-end web development)

hello everyone, I'm currently on the fron-end web developing track and I have just finished the CSS foundation stage. I was thus wondering that it might be time to start brushing up on my skills in a better, perhaps even more effecient way, than trying to create single webpages with the aim to use certain features (like flex boxes and flex elements) to train myself. is there any tips to share on how to improve my skills?

I've found that establishing my own projects helps a great deal in putting my new skills to practice.

Try visiting communities where custom HTML/CSS themes are the norm, such as Zetaboards or Blogspot, and release something of your own.

Not only will you be solidifying your knowledge, but you will learn first-hand how to adapt your skills for other platforms.

I think making a little project on codepen after each badge is a great way to practice your skills.

Here are some examples you can re-create to practice your CSS skills.

If you want to level up your CSS knowledge I'd suggest reading:

I'd also suggest you do the CSS Layouts course here on Treehouse.

Thanks. I do try doing that by implementing the features I learn into the page (even if it didnt work across all browsers, just to train that certain skill) But I doubted the efficiency of doing exercises in the form of one page every two or three days. Will definitly check all these resources :)
