02. CSS

Foundations

In the upcoming lessons, you will:

• Discover the basics of a CSS rule — like a magical spell that can transform any element of your webpage.
• Learn how to integrate CSS into your HTML file — don’t worry, there’s more than one way to do it, and you’ll master them all.
• Understand the mysterious cascade — not every spell works immediately; some require a specific order.
• Harness the power of inheritance in CSS — like an ancient wizard passing their wisdom to the next generation.

CSS, or Cascading Style Sheets, is not a rigid collection of rules. It’s like an ancient spellbook, allowing you to change the look and feel of your webpage. “Cascading” means that the spells take effect in a certain order and can overwrite each other, but don’t panic — you’ll soon learn how to control these forces.

With CSS, you don’t just shape the appearance of your webpage; you breathe life and personality into it. It’s your tool to turn a plain HTML structure into a masterpiece that will leave your visitors in awe.
