About this presentation

When people talk about CSS layouts these days, it’s all about flex and grid. And, don’t get me wrong, flex and grid are pretty cool. But normal flow is still the default layout on the web, so that's what most of your app is probably using. And given that normal flow is so fundamental, it's important to have a good understanding of how it works. But how it works can be a little counter-intuitive.
