CSS Notes

Introduction to CSS

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in

HTML or XML. CSS is a cornerstone technology of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and JavaScript. CSS allows

you to control the layout, colors, and fonts of a webpage.

CSS Syntax and Selectors

CSS uses a selector-based syntax to apply styles to elements. Selectors define the HTML elements you want to style.

Types include universal selectors (*), class selectors (.classname), ID selectors (#id), and attribute selectors.

CSS Box Model

The box model is fundamental in CSS. It describes the rectangular boxes generated for elements in the document tree

and consists of margins, borders, padding, and the content area.

CSS Units

CSS supports various units for defining dimensions: Absolute units include px (pixels), cm (centimeters), etc., while

relative units include em, rem, %, vw, and vh.

Styling Text and Fonts

CSS provides properties for styling text, such as font-family, font-size, font-weight, color, line-height, text-align, and

letter-spacing. These properties enhance readability and visual hierarchy.

Colors and Backgrounds


CSS Notes

CSS allows you to define colors using Hex, RGB, or HSL formats. Backgrounds can be styled with solid colors,

gradients, or patterns.

CSS Positioning and Layouts

Positioning in CSS determines how elements are placed in the document. Properties include static, relative, absolute,

fixed, and sticky. Layout techniques include float, flexbox, and grid.

CSS Flexbox

Flexbox is a layout model for arranging elements in a container. It allows elements to align and distribute space

efficiently, even when their size is dynamic.

CSS Grid

CSS Grid Layout is a two-dimensional layout system for web pages. It lets you define rows, columns, and areas to

design complex layouts easily.

Responsive Design

Responsive design ensures your website looks good on all devices. Techniques include using media queries, a

mobile-first approach, and the viewport meta tag.

CSS Transitions and Animations

CSS transitions provide smooth changes between property values, while animations allow for more complex sequences

using keyframes.
CSS Notes

CSS Pseudo-classes and Pseudo-elements

Pseudo-classes (e.g., :hover, :nth-child) define a special state of an element. Pseudo-elements (e.g., ::before, ::after)

allow you to style specific parts of an element.

CSS Variables

CSS variables, also known as custom properties, enable reusability of values throughout your CSS. They are defined

using the -- prefix.

CSS Frameworks

Popular CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Tailwind simplify web development by providing predefined styles and

components.

CSS Best Practices

Maintain clean and modular CSS by using consistent naming conventions, minimizing specificity, and avoiding inline

styles. Optimize for performance by minimizing file size and reducing render-blocking styles.
