Week 1

Introduction to CSS

In Week 1, we first learn how to use CSS to style our HTML pages. With plain HTML, we’re primarily concerned with the general structure of the page - “what’s the rough order of all our elements on the page?“. With CSS, we define the color, shape, position, and general look and feel of all of these elements.

In this week’s lecture, you’ll learn how CSS uses selectors to grab hold of HTML elements on the page, and declarations to assign values to properties of those elements.
