Course details

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language that allows you to control the appearance of your webpages. In this hands-on course, instructor Christina Truong demonstrates the concepts that form the foundation of CSS, explaining what you need to know to tweak existing CSS and start writing your own with ease. Christina explains how to add colors and other design elements to take your webpages beyond just black text on a white background. She shows how to use selectors, how the box model defines the spacing and sizing of page elements, and how to style text and manage basic layouts with Flexbox and Grid. Learn the basics of working with typography, creating fluid and responsive layouts, and determining when to use the float and position properties. Along the way, test out your know-how with real-world projects that let you practice applying new content and skills.

    I recommend this course! As a self-taught coder, this course really explained the whys and wherefores that really stuck with me. This material exposed a number of blind spots for me related to what I thought I knew about CSS, and for that I am so thankful and grateful to Christina's course! So I'd like to take the opportunity share how I was inspired to apply it to my portfolio site: If you'd like to checkout my AI portfolio, I would truly value any critique: https://harold-9000.vercel.app/ Maximum respect, Harold

    An Excellent Foundation! Christina's course goes through all the foundation tools of CSS while guiding the student through a practical example. I'm new to HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Thus, I only really considered HTML and Javascript to be important for my small projects. Now, I know better. Christina's course helped me see the immense value of CSS, and I am more confident using CSS in the future. Thank you, Christina!
