Introduction to Web Design with HTML and CSS
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is the foundation of website and web application development. In this workshop, you will learn the fundamental concepts needed to use HTML effectively including semantic markup for tagging content as what it is, and not just for formatting. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a stylesheet language that allows you to control the appearance of your webpages. This workshop will cover the key concepts of CSS, explaining what you need to know to edit existing CSS and write your own. You will learn how to add colors and other design elements to make well designed webpages. The workshop will also cover how to use selectors, how the box model defines the spacing and sizing of page elements, how to style text and manage basic layouts, how to work with advanced selectors, creating responsive layouts, and determining when to use float and position properties.
