13.0 CSS Summary
Congratulations! You have reached the end of the CSS Tutorial and now have enough basic knowledge to add styling and layout effectively to your own web site. A lot of ground has been covered to get here so here is a quick recap of everything so far:
- The tutorial began with an introduction to CSS and that it is used for applying styling to web pages;
- We learned the various methods of implementing CSS (inline, embedding, linking and importing);
- Then we tried some practical examples, starting with colour and font properties;
- We were introduced to the CSS Box Model, an underlying concept of CSS;
- We learned how to use CSS with some core HTML elements such as lists and tables;
- We learned about grouping of elements and using other selectors;
- We then covered the more advanced topics such as positioning, floating and layering, which allow for some nice effects;
- In addition we applied CSS to images for yet more nice effects;
- And finally we leared about the cascade, another underlying CSS concept.
This is the end of the CSS tutorial but it is still no doubt only the very beginning of your journey into the exciting world of writing web pages. Take everything you have learned so far and experiment to your heart's content, and again don't worry: you will not break anything!
