Cascading Style Sheets Introduction
This online course covers the basics of working with CSS, how to write it, where to write it, and how to apply it to your web pages.
Throughout this course you will go through various practical examples that show you how to make pure CSS buttons, format images, add animations, style your links, and so forth. By the end of this course you will have gained a good basic understanding of CSS and you will be able to see how powerful it can be. You will be able to apply these techniques to your own pages and you will be able to build upon these techniques to create your own styles.
Please Note: This course is reduced in price as it is one of only 3 courses still available from our original collection, which was recorded some years ago. Whilst the course is on the whole still relevant and provides a good basic grounding in CSS, it should be noted that:
- The video is of a lower quality than our other courses which are Full HD
- There may be a small number of elements in the course for which there is now a newer alternative approach.
Despite this, we feel the course does still provide a good basic grounding in CSS, and as such are continuing to offer it.
