For those who are new comers to the land of web design, Cascading Style Sheets (or CSS) is a stylesheet language used to describe the presentation of a document written in a markup language. Its most common application is to style web pages written in HTML and XHTML, but the language can be applied to any kind of XML document, including SVG and XUL. [via Wikipedia]
CSS is one for the most important markup languages ever made and like the definition states, its what makes a website look so good. Because this is so vital to websites and blogs its crucial that you know where to find a helping hand.
The first place I recommend is W3Schools’ (CSS Tutorial Section). This is like the manual for CSS coding. You’ll learn how to control the styling and layout for single and multiple pages all at once. This gives you the look you want for your website.
But, if you want to go farther, you need to check out Smashing Magazine. Here you’ll find more then enough examples, tutorials, and codes to keep you interested in CSS coding. CSSNewbie and CSSBasics are also perfect for beginners because they keep things simple and straight forward. CSS Basics keeps things looking in book forum by having everything stored in chapters for Introduction to CSS, CSS Syntax, Classes and ID to classification, Position and Pseudo Elements.
There are tons of site dedicated to CSS coding so I took it upon myself to list a fue. I hope these site help you as they’ve helped me.
