CSS summary
The lessons in this section have taught you about CSS - the language used to specify the appearance, style, and layout of various elements on a webpage.
The lessons included information on what CSS is, CSS syntax, classes and ID's, background properties, text properties, and more.
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a language designed to specify the overall appearance of webpages as well as the appearance and structure of the text and elements such as images and buttons on webpages and their layout. Styles can be specified with CSS using internal style sheet definitions which are placed right into HTML/XHTML code or in external files.
CSS is supported by all modern browsers including Firefox, Opera, Netscape, and Internet Explorer.
What's next?
At this time, you should already know HTML and/or XHTML as well as CSS. Learning web development follows a logical progression - first you should learn how to build webpages (HTML/XHTML), then you should learn how to specify the appearance, layout, and overall design of webpages (CSS) then you can move on to building dynamic and interactive content for webpages (Javascript).
Javascript is a scripting language developed by Netscape used to provide dynamic and interactive content on webpages. It is one of the first scripting languages in existence and today is the most popular scripting language on the web. Javascript works in all modern web browsers including Firefox, Netscape, Opera, and Internet Explorer.
