In this workshop, participants will learn basic concepts in CSS (cascading style sheets), the syntax that is used to visually style documents created with HTML markup. What is CSS, and how is it used to control the visual layout of an HTML page? How do you use CSS to change styles like font, background colors, and element size? By the end of this session, participants will be able to modify basic style features of simple HTML documents. When registering for this session, a basic understanding of HTML syntax and document structure is assumed. To participate, attendees are asked to create a free account on JSFiddle (http://jsfiddle.net/) to follow along.
