CSS Introduction - Learning

What is CSS?

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is the language used to style and design web pages. It controls everything from colors and fonts to layouts and animations, turning basic HTML into a beautiful user interface.

Types of CSS

Inline CSS — Applied directly within an HTML tag using the style attribute.
Internal CSS — Defined within a <style> tag inside the HTML <head>.
External CSS — Linked via a separate .css file for maximum efficiency.

CSS Syntax

The standard CSS rule consists of a selector and a declaration block:

selector {
    property: value;
    property: value;
}

Simple Example

This rule changes all paragraph text color to vibrant purple:

p {
    color: #8b5cf6;
    font-size: 18px;
}
