Week 8 Notes

W3 School Cascading Style Sheet

 w3schools.com has a lot of helpful tutorials. I can definitely see how this site would be useful for anyone who wants to learn programming languages.

The tutorial says that CSS is used to solve a problem. What problem? It never specifies.


CSS Tutorial Starting with HTML + CSS

This site is really helpful in that it gives a practical example of using HTML and CSS. The tutorial was very helpful.

If I understand this correctly, HTML and CSS work together to create interesting web pages, with colors, styles, navigation bars, etc. Can you create a web page only using CSS? Or do you need to use them together?


Chapter 2 of Cascading Style Sheets: Designing for the Web y Hakon Wium Lie and Bert Bos

This chapter answered my previous question. I definitely think in future classes that this reading should come before the tutorials. It helps explain how HTML and CSS work together to create a formatted web page.

Why do the curly braces appear on separate lines from the declaration?

This tutorial seems rather old, mentioning IE4 and Netscape. Netscape is long gone, and Mac no longer supports IE. Is the theory still the same despite the changes in browsers?

The chapter includes a lot of details that the other tutorials didn't, which makes it extremely helpful. I like all the details because it can act as a troubleshooting guide when I use HTML and CSS.
