The before and after pseudo elements are super useful part of CSS, but are often misunderstood. This is part of a three-part series where I look at how they work, and cool stuff we can do with them.
In this video, I focus on what ::before and ::after even are and how we can use them, and even why we use the double colon before them, instead of a single one (it's to distinguish them from pseudo-classes, like :hover).
One important thing with both the before and after pseudo elements is that they require us to define the content property. Without it, it defaults to none and, well, we can use it!
