#320: Andy and Una from Google’s Learn CSS Project

Learn CSS is a very cool project from a whole team of people at Google (and outside). It does a great job of documenting where is right now, in a fairly comprehensive way. Learn CSS was spearheaded by Una Kravets and Andy Bell did the bulk of the writing, so they are two extra-special guests to have on the show to talk about it. Why CodePen Radio though? Because there are literally hundreds of Embedded Pens used in this course, all using a style guide base and are live editors in the site itself. Cool!

Did you know, the Learn CSS course has over 200 demos in it all powered by two CodePens?

The main one is a low-key pattern lib that gave each demo a consistent look and feel and shared components. https://t.co/RNgcO7zvGK https://t.co/n79GebVpzM

WooCommerce supports Apple Pay at checkout now, which is a nice thing to offer. Some people have pretty strong preferences for how they pay online, and it’s best to meet them there rather than force one particular payment method.
