Newbie to CSS seeking info/tutorials

[FilthyCherry]

Hi everyone!
Well ya gotta start somewhere, and I thought I'd start here. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where a newbie such as myself could learn the basics of CSS. Where it's used best and how etc.

I'd prefer web based references, but I'd go for a book too.

Thanks!

Hi,

Here's a good place to start:

http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp

Hope this helps!

this page seems to be a really good begginer's intro to CSS:

http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Guide/Style.html

also its by W3C (the guys who define HTML and CSS) so it's got to be definitive, eh?

The best way to learn is to try it out, so use that and then play around with all the possible style options (maybe look at the CSS reference also on w3.org).

cheers

If you find a site that you like the look of you can save the page (file-> Save as) and you a copy of their stylesheet. Plagarism is obviously wrong but examining how somebody else has done something can be a useful learning aid.

I used the westciv tutorials -

http://www.westciv.com

and found them excellent. Otherwise, copying code (where a style sheet is embedded) and tinkering about will help to a certain extent. What you will need though some kind of browser compatability guide, one of the trickiest things about CSS is knowing what is compatible with what, given varying browser support.

Try finding any link with Eric Meyer - that's where I'm going.

The w3schools tutorial is a good beginning. Eric Meyer will expand you.

Good luck,
