Workshop Details

Do you struggle to apply styles to your websites? Are you anxious when asked to turn a design into reality? Do you want to feel confident writing and debugging CSS? This course is for you! We'll cover the foundations of CSS like color, typography, positioning, and z-index. We'll also learn how to look at a visual design and turn that into code.

This course won't cover more intermediate and advanced CSS topics like responsive layouts or animations, but will give you resources for continuing your learning journey in these areas. By understanding how CSS is applied to your elements and rendered in the browser, you'll feel more confident as a frontend developer.
