Video Description
In this streaming online video, Charles Wyke-Smith
demonstrates some of the most useful CSS techniques. Charles goes
over the key strategies of correctly structuring HTML documents and
then moves on to presentational styling – such as the colors,
graphics, and columns of the layout – with CSS after. Leading with
structure ensures that your document will display acceptably on any
device, not just desktop web browsers, and will enable you to
easily change the look of your site in the future. Charles provides
a solid introduction in how to use CSS effectively, and shows you
the step-by-step process of styling a page. The streaming online
video assumes some basic knowledge of how web pages work, but even
if you're a complete beginner, you should be able to follow along
quite easily.
