On day 11 I've introduced you to space-separated functional color notations. Early color functions like rgb() and hsl() support both the old comma-separated and the new space-separated syntax.

Using the viewport unit vh in desktop browsers is usually straight-forward, 100vh matches the height of the viewport. On mobile that's different because the viewport height changes depending on whether or not certain user interface elements are visible, 100vh doesn't always match the height of the viewport.

Cascade layers introduce a new way of managing specificity in CSS.

We already know that we can select an element based on the presence of a certain child element (in Chrome/Edge 105+ and Safari 15.4+), but there are limitations.

There's a difference between listing selectors in :where(), :is(), and :has() and listing them in a regular selector list.

Thoughts on when it’s better to use :is() over :where() and vice versa.

You can use full math expressions in the comparison functions min(), max(), and clamp(). There’s no need to nest a calc() function inside.

The clamp() function defines a minimum value, a preferred value, and a maximum value.

Just like for margin or padding, there are also logical property variations for border properties.
