I’ve been working on my YouTube educational channel html/css/design (https://youtube.com/FollowAndrew) for a bit now. Pickup is slow, but it’s been fun helping a greater audience learn new skills!
I mean this in the kindest way possible, but do you think it's appropriate to teach such new CSS selectors? I just bounced around the slider on your featured video and I'm seeing stuff that only hits 85-90% on caniuse.com which is unacceptable for the apps I typically do. I still have a lot of IE11 that's used in large corps, etc. I'd LOVE to use things like grid-template but I can only imagine the fallout - I've only just been able to start utilizing basic flexbox.
It may just be different audiences/userbases, idk.
That’s a pretty good question actually, and difficult to address. I try and push new concepts/tech as a way of education on what’s coming.
For edu channels it seems it’s a balance of teaching core concepts and also teaching what’s “popular” to keep folks interested.
You have to make a cutoff at some point with caniuse, as I suppose to get 100% coverage we’d still be doing table-based layouts or float hacks. The old adage of “know your audience” will eventually dictate the tech.
