This repository offers a comprehensive guide to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), starting from the fundamentals to more advanced topics. It's structured to provide a solid foundation in CSS, and while it may touch upon various CSS frameworks, it aims to give learners the discretion to explore these tools as examples, such as Bootstrap, Tailwind CSS, Foundation, Bulma, and Materialize, among others.
This tutorial emphasizes the importance of hands-on practice and repetition in mastering CSS. While it might be tempting to copy and paste commands, engaging with the material through hard, repetitive practice is crucial for deep learning. As you work through the examples, pay close attention to each style you apply and observe its effects on the layout and appearance of the web page. Understanding the purpose and impact of each property is key to becoming proficient in CSS.
