CSS Fundamentals

CSS is the formatting layer of the web. If HTML is the document, CSS is the formatting panel โ€” font, size, color, spacing, bold, alignment. This course teaches CSS through hands-on examples, starting with text and colors and building up to responsive layouts that look great on any device.
