Learnings

I'm teaching myself HTML and CSS at the moment and really enjoying it. This site is here for me to practise on. As you can see I like using webfonts! I've also been trying to sneak in some sneaky bits of CSS3 too. But I need professional help so this week I'm off to Code Fitness - a days blast of HTML and CSS taught by Anna Debenham at UX Bootcamp. If you have any useful tips for me, books you think I should read or online resource I should look at then tweet me.
