    Hello, I’m trying to learn basics of CSS and something makes me confuse.

    I learned that CSS pixels has got nothing to do with physical device pixels. Device pixels are pixel density of screen resolution, am I right? Do I have to consider this while coding in any programming language in practical?

    Probably only for the resolution of images (they tend to get pixelated on high res devices) and when you’re trying to target pixel ratio specifially in media queries. For the rest, you’d don’t really have to take them into account at all.
