CSS Tutorial in PDF Format
Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, is used to define how a document will appear. This language is often used for web design, explaining to computers how to make a website or web page appear to the viewer. CSS is a relatively easy way to manipulate web design, in programs such as Microsoft Expression Web, allowing users with little web design experience to create beautiful, professional-looking web sites with minimal effort. Learning the selectors and how to create styles for each takes a bit of practice but it is possible for an absolute beginner to learn in only a few hours.
