I’ve been working on my final project website, and have decided to incorporate flexbox into my project. I’m surprised at how easy it’s been to work with once I got over the learning curve. Fortunately, the learning curve isn’t that steep.

The main hurdle I faced was thinking differently in code than I had previously been used to. I was thinking about things in terms of floats and clears, but that’s not at all how flexbox works. Instead, you have to think, quite literally, in terms of flexible boxes.

I’ve posted it before, but the Complete Guide to Flexbox article on CSS-Tricks is well worth reposting. This article will get you through everything you need to know in using flexbox.
