Miriam has always been nothing but spot-on, professional, funny, while also being extremely knowledgeable, smart, polite and always on time.
Ed’s tutorial has been the most popular this year!
To learn from Miriam is truly a privilege, not only because she is involved in writing specifications, but because, at the end of the day, she is also a developer like us. This puts her in a unique position to help you understand not only how to use CSS, but also to understand why it works the way it does.
Miriam knows CSS better than nearly anyone on the planet. Not only does she help shape CSS specifications, she applies the nuances of CSS in honest-to-goodness real-world work. I’ve learned so much from her, so I’d strongly recommend Miriam’s workshop to anyone!
