CSS Grid Layout Basics
CSS Grid is a two-dimensional layout system for arranging elements in rows and columns. Key properties: grid-template-columns defines column tracks, grid-template-rows defines row tracks, gap controls spacing, and grid-area positions items. Grid excels at page-level layouts.

▶When should I use Grid vs Flexbox?
Use Grid for two-dimensional layouts (rows AND columns simultaneously). Use Flexbox for one-dimensional layouts (either a row OR a column). Grid is better for page layouts; Flexbox is better for component layouts.
▶What is the fr unit in CSS Grid?
fr (fraction) is a flexible unit that distributes remaining space. grid-template-columns: 1fr 2fr gives the second column twice the space of the first. It is similar to flex-grow in Flexbox.
▶Can Grid items span multiple cells?
Yes. Use grid-column: span 2 or grid-row: span 2 to make an item span multiple columns or rows. You can also use named grid areas for complex layouts.
