Description

CSS is what turns a plain HTML page into something people actually want to look at. This crash course gets you styling websites in under an hour. You will learn CSS syntax, colors, fonts, text styling, backgrounds, and even animation through practical demonstrations. The focus is on doing, not just watching. By the end of those 45 minutes, you will be able to write CSS scripts and understand how to include them in HTML files.

This Course Offers

  • A super fast introduction to CSS concepts with hands on coding examples.
  • Practical demonstrations of text styling, fonts, and color application.
  • Coverage of CSS inclusion methods so you know how to connect stylesheets properly.
  • An introduction to CSS animation to add movement and interest to your pages.

Why We Love This Course

  1. It is genuinely a crash course. Just one hour of video split into seven focused lectures. You can finish it in a single sitting and start styling immediately.
  2. The instructor teaches through practical demonstrations, not just slides. You see the code and the result at the same time.
  3. Over 116,000 students have enrolled, making this one of the most popular entry level CSS courses. That many learners cannot be completely wrong.
  4. The course covers CSS animation, which is rare for a beginner level crash course. You get a taste of modern CSS without being overwhelmed.

A few things to note. The course last updated in August 2021, so some newer CSS features from the last few years are not included. But the fundamentals of syntax, colors, fonts, and backgrounds have not changed. If you need a quick, low pressure introduction to CSS before moving to frameworks like Tailwind or Bootstrap, this crash course does the job.
