Flexible layouts. Equal height columns. Presentation independence from your HTML source order. These things haven't been so easy to achieve with CSS—until now. The flexible box layout, the new flexbox specification, makes creating any of these layouts easy, and much more.
In this article I'll walk you through the latest flexbox specification and use a simple demo to show you how to create a layout that's flexible, and has equal height columns and elements that you can arrange in any order, regardless of their order in the HTML source.

Flexbox is pretty awesome and is certainly part of the future of layout. The syntax has changed quite a bit over the past few years, hence the "Old" and "New" syntax. But if we weave together the old, new, and in-between syntaxes, we can get decent browser support. Especially for a simple and probably the most common use case: order-controlled grids
Flexbox is a new layout mode in CSS3 that is designed for the more sophisticated needs of the modern web. This article will describe the newly-stablized Flexbox syntax in technical detail.

New CSS properties offer easy ways to lay out web pages. Thomas Lewis of Microsoft walks you through Grid Alignment, Flexible Box and Multi-column Layout
Laying out pages in CSS has always seemed a more complicated process than it needs to be. So here’s some great news: there are fresh specs that will make creating layouts a much simpler task for web designers.
The major browsers, with the help of bodies such as the W3C, are starting to provide standards and implementations for a variety of new layout options that we can begin using today. For example, the W3C currently considers CSS3 Multicolumn Layout Module a Candidate Recommendation. Basically this means it’s at the point where the W3C is comfortable with browsers implementing it as a feature.

Just so everyone is clear on this: "Flexbox" (more specifically: CSS Flexible Box Layout Module) has undergone a lot of changes in the last three years. Changes both to the spec and what browsers have implemented.
One of the challenges compounded by responsive web design is the need to fully decouple markup (HTML) from presentation (CSS). With a single layout, depending upon where we want a piece of markup to appear, we can (worst case) amend the source order to aid. Or, use any number of CSS workarounds to shift elements, visually, where we need them.
