Question

When learning Ruby last year I took a quick course over at TryRuby … it’s basically an interactive terminal that executes ruby commands and holds your hand through the language.

Likewise, over at Codecademy, they will have you perform increasingly more advanced JavaScript inside of a console so that you can learn the language.

Does a similar site/app/plugin exist that will take me through a series of exercises to get familiar with CSS?

Thanks!

Currently there are no such comprehensive online tutorials on CSS.

However, I’d recommend http://dabblet.com/ for learning HTML&CSS — it have some features that makes it greater than jsfiddle:

• live preview of what you type: you don’t need to manually trigger it;
• -prefix-free by default, can be useful for novice, so you won’t need to clutter with all this stuff from the start;
• awesome previewers for different properties (colors, gradients, dimensions, angles, etc.), so it would be easy to understand if you’re doing something wrong.

BTW, it’s a great idea — to create the open tutorials based on any one tool available online, I hope that someone would do it (if noone would, well, maybe I’ll find some time for it).
