First off, great article. As for the “CSS in a weekend” comment: learning the correct syntax for a language and knowing how to make it sing are two different things. You can learn the correct syntax for CSS, but that doesn’t mean you know it. I’ve been playing around with it for a decade and am STILL fascinated by the things people do with it. As a backend/DB dev by trade and someone who is fluent in over a dozen different development languages and APIs, I can say that creating with CSS is by far the most personally satisfying work I do, as well as the most challenging. It isn’t anything any code geek should be looking down their nose at.
