Overview #
In this lesson, we will learn how to style our websites using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).
Why This Module Is Important #
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a textual language for describing how a web page is styled for
visual presentation. Before CSS was invented it was common for web developers to use the <table>
tag to layout websites. CSS is now the de facto standard for adding style to your pages. Check out
CSS Zen Garden (Links to an external site.) for a demonstration on
the power that modern CSS has!
