Free Books for Developers

The freeCodeCamp community publishes technical tutorials in many forms. We publish shorter, more focused guides that aim to answer a specific question.

Make your Design System interactive

Design GUI is a browser extension for Tailwind CSS. Edit colours, components or even your entire Design System

โŒจ๏ธ HTML

We're Bringing Responsive Video Back!

We used to have standard, cross-browser responsive video. However, in 2014, media attribute support for HTML video sources was deleted from the HTML standard

๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ CSS

Textareas with auto-increasing height using CSS

Textareas areas are great when it comes to accepting a large amount of text from the user. But, the problem with textareas is that they have a fixed height.

CSS Worm Animation

How to create a smooth worm or snake animation, with HTML and CSS.

Thereโ€™s no such thing as a desktop screen

Next time you think โ€œthis is a desktop-only appโ€, think again. Responsiveness is a bit more nuanced than that.

Type safe CSS design systems with @property

CSS types are a worthy investment into type safety in your front-end work. We're still awaiting cross browser interop, but we'll get there.
