a not-so-thorough lightning talk by Laura Gaetano When we talk
about CSS What we talk about
and I'm a visual artist gone geek. Hello, my name
is Laura
(I also email developers when I find typos in their
apps.) I like impressive, clear, exciting, functional and beautiful design.
(what's that?) Some years ago, I fell in love with
CSS
and that's a good thing. Cascading Style Sheets help you
style and strategically divide your page
The Basics: Think of it like a recipe
- you have a lot of ingredients available to choose
from - and: some ingredients reaaaaaally don't like each other! - the order in which you use them matters! (most of the time)
Onto the hard stuff: What does CSS look like? It
has a lovely, easy to learn syntax: lots of curly braces and semi-colons!
body { font-family: Helvetica; font-color: purple; } selector / property
/ value
To insert CSS into your HTML code, you can either
use <style> tags in your <head></head>... (but that's not so cool) or use an external stylesheet which means you can keep all your styling in one place!
External Stylesheet = Awesome <link href="your_css_filename.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
If you want to play around with CSS you can
check out the Twitter bootstrap http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/
