    A game for learning CSS flexbox 🐸

  • We all have different ways of getting motivated and learning. You shouldn't yuck other peoples' yum.

    I've definitely heard of some games that teach programming skills getting popular. For example, https://flexboxfroggy.com/ http://www.flexboxdefense.com/ for teaching css layout.

    https://www.freecodecamp.org/ isn't marketed as a game, but absolutely feels like one when you are going through the program.

    https://www.hackthebox.com/ is another great example.

    As to reading books, I used a lot of resources to become a programmer, but books weren't one of them. I'd wager hardly anybody uses books today.
