CSS has evolved dramatically over the years, and modern layout techniques like Grid and Flexbox have revolutionized how we build web layouts. Let's explore these powerful tools and learn when to use each one.

CSS Grid vs Flexbox

CSS Grid is perfect for two-dimensional layouts where you need to control both rows and columns. Flexbox excels at one-dimensional layouts and is ideal for distributing space among items in a container.

"The best layout tool is the one that solves your specific problem most elegantly."

Container queries are the newest addition to CSS, allowing you to style elements based on their container's size rather than the viewport. This is a game-changer for component-based designs.

• Use CSS Grid for two-dimensional layouts
• Use Flexbox for one-dimensional layouts and alignment
• Container queries enable true component-based responsive design
• Combine techniques for optimal results
