Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a document type and the associated scripting language that describes the presentation of HTML documents. Using the CSS language, you can control the look and feel of web pages by defining layout, text, and image properties to be applied in a wide array of contexts.

This course is a comprehensive introduction to both writing and implementing CSS. Using the document hierarchy model, you’ll learn how to tailor web styles to specific areas. With your hierarchy defined, you’ll dive deep into CSS fundamentals, adding colors, text styles, and backgrounds to your web page. After you’ve defined these elements, you’ll use CSS to define layouts around pictures and text flow and completely control your web page’s look. You’ll wrap up by exploring the essential animation functions of CSS.

By the end of this course, you’ll have functional mastery of Cascading Style Sheets and the CSS scripting language. You’ll be prepared to build professional web pages with your code.

The Complete Beginner’s Guide to CSS

**CSS Grid** is a modern layout system that we can use when laying out web pages.

It’s often compared to Flexbox. While they’re both excellent systems for working with complex layouts, there’s one major difference. CSS Grid works in two dimensions (rows *and* columns), while Flexbox only works in a single dimension (rows *or* columns).

If you want your layout to work in both rows and columns, then Flexbox will likely suit your needs. When working in both dimensions, it’s time to use CSS Grid!


## CSS Grid basics

We activate the `grid` layout by making an HTML element a `grid-container` as demonstrated in the code below:

```html
<div class="grid-container">
  
</div>
```

In our CSS, we can simply set the `display` property to `grid`:

```css
.grid-container {
  display: grid;
}
```

Grid layouts must include a parent element and one or more child elements. Several properties can be applied to the container and child elements (each item in the `grid-container`). Throughout this lesson, we’ll work with the following code:
