Chapter 3 Web Research: CSS tutorials

  "There is still much for you to learn about CSS.... Use a search engine to search for CSS tutorials.
  Choose a tutorial that is easy to read. Select a section that discusses a CSS technique that was not covered in this chapter."

-CSS Structure and Rules
 This was a pretty detailed, but easy to read tutorial!
It covered several things that we haven't learned yet, such as contextual selectors,  inheritance rules, and pseudo-classes and pseudo-elements.


*-Zen Garden: The Beauty of CSS Design*
 "A demonstration of what can be accomplished visually through CSS-based design."
 Ok. This isn't actually a tutorial, but it was so interesting that I had to post it!
This is an amazing example of just how important CSS is, and the power of what it can do! 
Go check this site out! Not only will you be inspired, but you can view the css that is used, and learn from seeing how these professional designs are accomplished!


-Adding a touch of style
 "This is a short guide to styling your Web pages. It will show you how to use W3C's Cascading Style Sheets language (CSS) as well as alternatives using HTML itself."
 I like how this tutorial is set up! It features large, easy to read text and examples, color-coded code, and great visual examples of colors! It covered mostly the things that we learned, but has a little bit extra (such as some new design features) I also like how he covers not only the "how", but also the "why" aspect!
