CSS was first developed in 1997, as a way for Web developers to define the look and feel of their Web pages. It was intended to allow developers to separate content from design so that HTML could perform more of the function that it was originally based on - the markup of content, without worry about the design and layout.
Following on form the HTML intro training course, this 2 day CSS (Cascading Stylesheet) course this course covers CSS thoroughly. The course is based around real-world projects which demonstrate practical applications of CSS, and show you how to develop solid strategies for creating fast, accessible and optimised web pages.
