What is CSS?

This tutorial assumes beginner knowledge of HTML.

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a simple mechanism for adding style (e.g., fonts, colors, spacing) to Web documents.

If you have ever felt you have a limited ability to make your website look visually stunning, CSS is for you. To see more of the power of CSS, visit CSS Zen Garden. CSS Zen Garden displays exactly the same content (and HTML code) but uses different CSS to radically change the appearance of the content.

If you already have a solid understanding of the language or are coming here after already attending the workshop feel free to skip ahead to the frequently asked questions and supplementary resources sections.
