Less than a week to launch The Layout Maestro course. I've received some great feedback from the beta testers so far!

This thing is coming to life! And by the way, newsletter subscribers will get an extra launch discount on top of everything else.

An interactive course focused on how to think, build, and test a layout with real-world examples.

@nicod Lol! It happens to the best of us. I probably purchased it while asleep/not focused and I ended up forgetting about it!
@roka Haha, I have plenty of experiences where I buy a domain and get excited, then the enthusiasm fades away :D

A few days ago I wanted to purchase a domain for my CSS layout course, but it was taken, so I purchased another one.

Today I got an email from the registrar asking me to update my info for that taken domain. Turns out I had already purchased it and completely forgot 😂

Two days ago, I sent a newsletter announcing the release date of my CSS course and asked for beta testers.

The response was beyond anything I expected. I spent ~3 hours reading every email and making some really tough decisions on who to select.

Grateful for everyone who volunteered. 🙏

My talk "Smart Layouts with #CSS" that I presented at @cssday in Amsterdam is live on YouTube for free.

This conference has a specific place in my heart! I met so many friends from the web community that I had known online for years 🤩

I'm really looking forward to this. The amount of work is something I haven't done before. For eg, I spent 2 hrs today on refining one of the flexbox demos to make it even clearer 👌
