Learning CSS

[Labtec]

Hi guys,

I wanted to get into programming as well as PC Maintenance/Repairing. I wanted to know if anyone knows and good books where CSS is easy to learn. I've had a few sites but it all seems complicated because I've not really sat dwn and had a look. Having said that, do you know any good sites with good tutorials? I know HTML inside and out, but after asking a computer genius about learning C++, he advised me to start with the easier languages before going into C++.

Regards,

Lab. :)

Hi Lab,

First, just to clarify, HTML and CSS aren't programming languages like C++ or Java. They're formatting languages used to format text and data for the web. HTML and CSS don't have things like variables or functions like programming languages. So if you want to learn programming, I'd suggest starting with Java since it's similar to C++ but a bit more "user friendly." That being said, I've found tutorials from here (http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp) to be fairly straightforward and useful. Hope this helps.

This is excellent. Thank you very much.

Yes, CSS is not a programming language, but another place where you might find a good tutorial is <a href="http://www.htmlgoodies.com">HTML Goodies</a> - that's where I learned CSS and I've used external CSS on every one of my websites ever since.


Hope that helps,

HTML Goodies is what I used to use (still do to check hex codes whenever I need them) - CSS isn't much different than basic html scripting. Just throwing it in another file. I acually find it to be useless; but thats because I use page layouts that involve graphics and images. CSS is only good for simple layout designing- background color, font, etc. Every keeps telling me I should be using them but I just don't see it.
