CSS Introduction

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a standard style sheet language. Prior to the introduction of CSS, almost all of the presentational attributes of HTML documents were contained within the HTML markup. This meant that all the colors, background styles, alignments, borders, and sizes had to be used for describing the presentation of the web pages.

CSS works hand-in-hand with HTML to create the beautiful websites that we can access today through the World Wide Web (WWW). If the style information were repeatedly added to every single page of the website, the development of large websites would become a long and expensive process.

To solve this problem, CSS was introduced to enable the separation of presentation and content and to provide a clear picture of the website as a whole.

Pre-requisites before learning CSS

Before learning CSS, it is recommended to have experience with any code editor tool, such as Notepad++, Sublime, or even Notepad. Additionally, having experience with any browser, browsing files and directories, and familiarity with HTML and its tags would be helpful prerequisites.
