CSS: A Complete Web Style Toolkit Present your web content the way you want it!

09:30 - 16:15 Wednesday 27 October 2010
Netskills Training Suite, Herschel Building, Newcastle University

The nature of the web today means there is an expectation for sites to deliver professional-looking, accessible and cost-effective content. Couple this with the need to provide easily maintained web pages - that also meet the current publishing standards - and you have just some of the reasons that make CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) into an essential toolkit that all web authors should have at their disposal.

By exploring the core concepts and techniques - and in some cases their limitations - you will leave equipped with a practical understanding of the most useful tools that CSS offers the web developer. You can then immediately start to use them to build creative, accessible, standards-compliant style into your own web sites.

Topics:

  • Constructing style sheets and style rules
  • HTML structure for CSS (DIV, SPAN, CLASS and ID)
  • The CSS box model - margins, padding and borders
  • CSS for page layout - positioning, stacking and floats
  • The CSS Cascade - inheritance and multiple style sheets
  • Alternative & Media specific style sheets
  • Standards and browser compatibility

Who is it for?

If you are familiar with the basics of HTML and are now looking to enhance the presentation of your web pages (or perhaps unravel the work of a previous developer!) then you will benefit from this workshop.

Participants must be comfortable working with HTML code and understand the basic tags and attributes used to structure a web page.

Further details about this workshop are available.
