Online course description

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the standard Internet language for defining the appearance or style of web page content on various media and devices.

In this basic CSS course, we will learn its fundamentals (what it is, tools we need to work with it, basic concepts, how to link it to HTML documents) and then learn everything related to color, typography, backgrounds, pseudo elements and pseudo classes of the language.

What will I learn?

  • We will start by making an introduction to our cascading style sheets: What it is, how to write them, what you need to work with them, what are their essential features and seeing what is the project that we will continue to develop throughout the course. 
  • We continue with colors and the ways to define them, without forgetting the 2 ways to deal with transparencies and opacities.
  • We will work with typography and the multiple configurations we can make to our texts: how to change to Google's own typographies, change their sizes, transformations, thicknesses, line spacing, interlettering, among many others. 
  • We will learn about backgrounds, working with textures and images: how they are repeated, how to configure their size, location and create effects when using several of them at the same time.
  • We will finish with the styles for our links and something very important in this language that are the pseudo classes, to configure them so that they are much more attractive and easy to use for our users.

Who is it aimed at?

To anyone who wants to start their way in web design, front-end developer, one of the most sought after professions worldwide today.

Requirements

Basic knowledge of HTML is required.
