CSS (and especially CSS3 being quickly assimilated in modern browsers) is an important part of Web development allowing to control the presentation of your content and possibility of its separation in external .CSS files where you can just substitute name of one .css file for another to totally change the look of your site. There is the whole type of industry – site template creation where people develop nice CSS templates (some cost money) for download by anybody. Later we will use CSS in application to XML and this is why it is important this week to understand its capabilities and way of using. There are many CSS constructs but in this course where we learn many important technologies the learning approach is the following:
1. Learn the idea of the particular technology, what is it for, its use
2. Understand how to apply it in Web development
3. Do some simple labs obtaining hands-on experience with it
4. Learn how to creatively use this technology in you project
5. And understand the concept of JIT (Just-in-Time) learning where you do not need to spend semester on memorizing ALL CSS or other technological constructs, tags, and forms but understanding how to use it – can always go to the site with the list of commands/constructs and pick what you need for that particular moment.
