Learn to Code CSS Course from scratch: Beginner to Expert

Welcome to the Mastering CSS course, a comprehensive program designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge to create stunning, responsive web designs. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a fundamental technology used in web development to control the visual appearance of web pages. In this course, you will explore the full potential of CSS, learning how to leverage its capabilities to craft visually appealing and user-friendly websites.

This course begins by introducing you to the basics of CSS, including selectors, properties, and values. You will gain a solid understanding of the box model, positioning elements, working with typography, and manipulating colors and backgrounds. Through hands-on exercises and projects, you will gain practical experience in writing CSS code and develop an eye for design.

CSS – short for Cascading Style Sheets – is a “programming language” you use to turn your base HTML pages into real beautiful websites.

This course covers all standards – we start at the very basics (What is CSS? How does it work? How do you apply it)? and gradually dive in deeper and deeper. And we do this by showing both practical coding examples as well as the theory behind them.

Getting started with CSS might look easy but there actually is a lot of depth to CSS – hence this course provides different “Levels” or “Entry points” to exactly meet your demands and reflect your current knowledge level:

The Basics Level: Start from scratch, and learn CSS from the ground up. You start with lecture 1 and simply follow through to the end step by step.

The Intermediate Level: You already know the CSS basics, you know what inline, internal, and external CSS is and how it works but you want to dive in deeper and learn some intermediate features and usages.

The Advanced Level: You got the intermediate knowledge, too, but you want to dive into things like Layout, CSS Animation, and CSS responsive pages to apply a single CSS page that would be applicable to multiple devices like mobile, t.v, computer, and large screens.

The Expert Level: You got the advanced knowledge, too, but you want to dive into things like Multiple columns, CSS about UI / UX design, and CSS Pagination. This Level is for you.

Of course, this course offers the theory and practical real-world examples – we’ll build an entire real course project throughout the course – but there is also a coding exercise challenge for you to practice individual concepts taught throughout the course.

Talking about the course project – we’ll explain a simple template getting from the web and making very simple steps to create real-world projects within less time. We’ll have a starting screen that has different sections, we got a responsive design, we show modals and forms and in general, we got a lot of CSS animations, font styles, and more!

Here’s what’s inside the course in detail – this is all also applied in a real-world project:

The basics about inline, internal, and external CSS and selectors,

Basic combinators and how you set up styling rules in general Properties and their values

How specific classes and IDs work and why it’s called “Cascading” Style Sheets

Important theoretical concepts like the “Box Model“

How the default position of elements can be changed

Styling backgrounds (e.g. gradients) and images

Which measurements and dimensions do you typically use in CSS (px, %, and more)

Responsive design and what “Mobile First” means

Styling forms, form inputs, and their alignments

Working with text, fonts, and text styles

How it works and how to use it in real-world coding exercises

Using the CSS Grid and how it differs from HTML grid

Transforming and animating HTML elements with the help of CSS

Writing future-proof CSS with features like CSS Pseudo classes or best-practice class names

Is this course for you?

It’s for you if

you started with learning web development and you want to build more beautiful websites

you already know CSS but want to dive deeper

you’re using CSS in a trial-and-error manner and want to change this (you should!)

You might come back later if …

you’re an absolute CSS pro and you know the CSS working group drafts by heart

you’re a backend-only developer (Java, Angular, Node, Asp.Net, PHP, NO HTML or frontend JavaScript)

you’re a total newcomer to web development and you don’t know the basics of CSS

If that sounds good to you, we’d be more than happy to welcome you to this course!
