CSS can get messy. If you have worked through some of the projects mentioned above or some of your own, you will realize how hard it becomes to keep an overview of all your styles. The worst part? There are no strictly enforced practices like it is common in many other languages.
The CSS guidelines course shows you a bit of advice on writing manageable CSS that is maintainable and readable.

If you are working with JavaScript or EcmaScript for a while and think you know it better, here is a book to validate that. Start reading it up asap. If you a beginner, what could be better than starting with a bang? Embrace it. One of my favorites on JavaScript.
The "You don't know JS" is a book series and workshop all about the more advanced parts of Javascript. It's a great pathway to learn about everything beyond simple DOM manipulation, such as closures, types, async, ES6 and beyond.
