Immediately Harness HTML5 to Help Learn CSS
As you may or may not know, I worked as a Teacher’s Assistant (for a web development class) for three of my four years at the University of Vermont. Often, I found myself fairly empathetic frustrated with students having a tough time with one of the most basic and most difficult concepts when it comes to CSS: floats.
