Learn CSS For Beginners

In this lesson, you will get a quick and clear start with CSS and learn how to style your first HTML page in minutes. We will set up CSS the right way, link an external stylesheet, and write your first few rules to change colors, fonts, and spacing. You will also learn how selectors work, how to target classes and IDs, and how to use DevTools to inspect elements and fix styling issues faster. By the end, you will have a simple page styled confidently, and you will understand the basic workflow you will use for every CSS project.

In this lesson, you will learn the core building blocks of CSS and how styling really works behind the scenes. We will cover CSS syntax (selectors, properties, values), the most common selectors (element, class, id), and how to apply styles using external CSS. You will also learn how the cascade works, what specificity means, and why some styles override others. Along the way, you will style text, colors, backgrounds, and basic spacing so everything feels practical, not theoretical. By the end, you will be able to read and write CSS confidently, target the right elements, and build clean styles that are easy to reuse and maintain.

In this lesson, you will understand how CSS actually applies styles to a web page from the browser’s point of view. We will break down the full flow, how the browser reads HTML, loads CSS, matches selectors to elements, and then decides which styles win using the cascade, specificity, and source order. You will also learn the difference between inherited and non-inherited properties, and how DevTools helps you see exactly which rule is applied or overridden. By the end, you will be able to debug CSS faster, fix “why is my CSS not working?” problems confidently, and build styles that behave predictably across your page.
