CSS Tutorial

A List Apart

Assignment 1

On this page I will be outlining websites that I believe will help someone as they begin using CSS to start building their web pages.

The first one that I have found here is called Your HTML Source. This is a great website all about HTML. This is a good tool to anyone that is just learning about web building.

There is a specific page inside this site that is of particular interest to me. This is a page that highlights the facts and history of Stylesheets.

The next one that I have found here is called Exploding-Boy. This is a page that highlights fourteen different tips about starting with CSS. These tips cover a wide variety of topics. They cover everything from suggestions to organize your styles to using comments in your code to help remind you what something might be there for. These tips are sure to help the beginner in CSS.

The next link that I have placed here is all about building pages with CSS as well. This page goes into much more detail about building the pages. The page content here contains similar information that one might learn in an intro to CSS class. Parts one through three are all very helpful.

The last and final link identified here is a website called A List Apart. This is a very large website about building sites using CSS. This is a collection of articles addressing many different topics from content to coding to culture. This is a very good resource to return to as you continue your building web pages as these articles will advance your knowledge about CSS deeply. There is a link deeper into this site that I would like to point out. It is within the user interface design category of the site and it is called Calling all designers: learn to write. It is about the idea that content and text cannot stand alone apart from design. This article will show that this cannot work.

The last link I have used is a list of bulleted items that I have learned from webmonkey.com about how to make and design a better styled web page.
