HTML and CSS

“

- When HTML was first created, it was developed with basic default styles, like spaces between paragraphs, bolded headings, and list items displayed with bullet points. But the need for more styling options eventually led to the creation of Cascading Style Sheets, better known as CSS. In 1996, the W3C, which is the organization that creates the technical specifications, published the first standard for CSS. Even though HTML elements are displayed with basic styles, its main function is to organize the structure of the document and add meaning to the content. The role of CSS is to customize the appearance of the document. This allows for the separation of content and presentation. In this course, we'll be working with HTML, but the focus is on the fundamentals of CSS. If you have any questions about HTML as we work through the exercises, I encourage you to check out my HTML Essential Training course for more detailed explanations. We'll also be building a real-world project, a personal website. So before we get into the essentials of CSS, we'll start with an overview of how to set up a development environment and prepare your course project files.
