Instructor
Hello, I'm Ben Frain. I'm the author of web development books including the best-selling, "Responsive Web Design with HTML5 and CSS", "Sass and Compass for Designers" and "Enduring CSS".
In my day job I work as a UI-UX Design Technical Lead.
Before the web I worked as an underrated (and modest) TV actor and technology journalist, having graduated Salford University with a degree in Media and Performance (fat lot of use that was!).
I've written four equally underrated screenplays (admittedly, my opinion) and still half the fading notion I may sell one.
Outside of work I enjoy simple pleasures: playing indoor football while my body (and wife) still allow it and wrestling with my two sons.
