    Study Notes

    Overview of CSS

    • CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet, a language for styling web pages, enhancing visual appeal compared to plain HTML.
    • CSS controls the layout, colors, fonts, and dimensions of HTML elements, making webpages visually attractive.

    Importance of CSS

    • Essential for web developers and designers, providing foundational skills in web technologies.
    • Understanding CSS facilitates learning other languages like JavaScript and PHP, and frameworks such as LaravelPHP, Bootstrap, and jQuery.
    • CSS3 became popular in June 1999 and is the current version widely used today.

    CSS Components

    • CSS syntax consists of three parts: selector, property, and value.
    • A selector specifies the HTML tag to style, a property defines the style to apply (e.g., color, font size), and a value specifies the property’s specification (e.g., red, 12px).

    CSS Selectors

    • Type Selector: Targets specific HTML tags. Example: h1 { color: blue; } applies to all <h1> elements.
    • Universal Selector: Matches all HTML elements. Example: * { color: red; } affects all elements on the page.
    • Class Selector: Selects elements by a specific class attribute, denoted by a period. Example: .classname { property: value; }.

    Positioning in CSS

    • Position Property: Determines how an element is positioned within the document flow, with values like static, relative, absolute, and fixed.
    • Relative Positioning: Allows elements to be adjusted from their original position with no impact on surrounding elements using position: relative.

    Display Property

    • The display property controls how elements are displayed on the webpage, with possible values including block, inline, and none.
    • Changing an element's display property to none hides it completely from the view.

    CSS Box Model

    • The Box Model consists of margins, borders, padding, and the actual content area.
    • Margin: Space outside an element.
    • Border: Wraps the element with a defined width.
    • Padding: Space inside the element, between the content and the border.

    Practical Assignments

    • Creation of a digital birthday invitation webpage using HTML, focusing on design aspects.
    • Developing a digital resume that utilizes CSS positioning and display properties.

    Review Questions

    • Differences between position and display properties should be explored, emphasizing their effects on layout.
    • Multiple-choice questions assess understanding of CSS selectors and key properties, reinforcing learning through practical application.
