Kevin Powell | My journey to learning CSS @KevinPowell | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
A lot of people ask me how they can be as good at CSS as I am, so I figured I’d share my story with you, even though my actual path might not be the best to follow, I have learned a few things along the way that might help 🙂.

✅ My biggest inspiration to start my channel was DevTips, and I think this was the first video of Travis’ that I saw: youtube.com/watch?v=xFGBNv2KeVU
