| LEARN WHAT IS CSS - by SR PROGRAMIST |
CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is one of the foundational technologies for creating visually appealing and user-friendly websites. If you're new to web development, learning CSS is an essential step to elevate your HTML structure with style, colors, layouts, and animations.
In my first video of the CSS Full Course, I dive into the basics of CSS, including its full form, its role in web development, and how it works with HTML. This blog post gives you an overview of what you'll learn in the video and why it's crucial to master CSS if you're serious about front-end web development.
What Is CSS?
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It’s a stylesheet language used to control the presentation and layout of HTML elements on a webpage. While HTML focuses on the structure of a website, CSS handles how the website looks and feels. From fonts and colors to layouts and animations, CSS is the tool that brings your webpage to life.
What You’ll Learn in This Video
In the first video of my CSS course, I explain everything you need to know to get started with CSS. Here’s a summary of the topics covered:
1. Ways to Add CSS to HTML
There are three main ways to add CSS to an HTML file:
- Inline CSS : Applying CSS directly within an HTML tag.
- Internal CSS : Writing CSS rules within a <style> tag in the <head> section.
- External CSS : Linking a separate CSS file using the <link> tag in the HTML document.
You’ll understand the pros and cons of each method and when to use them.
2. What Are CSS Selectors?
Selectors are a fundamental concept in CSS, allowing you to target specific HTML elements for styling. The video explains the following types of selectors:
- Universal Selector : Targets all elements on a page.
- Tag Name Selector : Targets elements by their HTML tag (e.g., <p>, <h1>).
- Class Selector : Targets elements with a specific class attribute.
- ID Selector : Targets a single element with a specific ID.
These selectors help you apply precise styles to your webpage and structure your CSS efficiently.
3. Is CSS Case Sensitive?
Yes, CSS is case-sensitive, and the video explains why this is important. Misusing cases in selectors or declarations can break your styles, so understanding this concept is key to avoiding errors.
4. How to Link CSS to HTML
Learn how to create and link an external CSS file to your HTML file. External stylesheets are the most efficient way to manage styles for larger projects.
