Johns Hopkins University via Coursera

Overview

Do you realize that the only functionality of a web application that the user directly interacts with is through the web page? Implement it poorly and, to the user, the server-side becomes irrelevant! Today’s user expects a lot out of the web page: it has to load fast, expose the desired service, and be comfortable to view on all devices: from a desktop computers to tablets and mobile phones. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to webpage styling and layout using CSS. It will discuss how one can select and target specific HTML elements, apply styles using CSS properties, and interact with the CSS box model. Additionally, the course teaches key CSS concepts, including selectors, specificity, inheritance, units of measurement, positioning, and floats. The course will also cover responsive design principles and how to use media queries to create websites that adapt to different screen sizes. Additionally, the course will introduce Bootstrap, a popular CSS framework, and demonstrates how to use its grid system to build responsive layouts efficiently. By the end of the course, learners have a solid foundation in CSS and be able to create visually appealing and responsive websites.
