Styling HTML with Css?

[Justin]

Hey,

Is there any tutorial online (that doesn't start with "Hello World" as an HTML tutorial) that will teach advanced styling techniques with CSS and HTML, like learning CSS and learning to make a good looking web page.

You need to apply your knowledge into making a good looking web page.

Some tutorials :

http://www.wpdfd.com/issues/70/css_from_the_ground_up/
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
http://htmlhelp.com/reference/css/
http://green-beast.com/build-css/

I don't know what you mean by "advanced" , because CSS isn't hard to understand.

If you're having problems with something, there is Google and web design forums to get answers.

Above basically says it, although there are many "For Dummies" books that will go even into more depth that are great.

I personally prefer W3Schools over all the other online website tutorials, however.

Thanks 🙂 Honestly most online tuts I have seen were like "how to add a background image" and "how to color your webpage". No I wanted to layout the webpage in css

You should check out tutorials on how to go from a PSD document to HTML/CSS. You can't really do a whole lot with CSS (IMO) without images that are made from Photoshop or whatever you use.

Well ofcourse I know all that, just making DIVs and such.

I beg to differ, the default XenForo theme is using a total of like 4 images :great: and you can make gradient backgrounds in just css 😉

The default theme for what? A forum? I don't know about you but my designs with Photoshop get into a lot of depth, so I use a lot of images to make it look more detailed and better.

Yes a forum. CSS is lightweight and pages load alot faster if it isn't jam packed with images. My designs in photoshop can get very detailed but i rarely use them for anything 🙂

 

[XcapeX]

He stated "web page", so why did we bring forums into this? Forums require even more language knowledge like php and such. And I don't jam pack images lol.

CSS is very simple and easy to use. Just experiment. Yes, you can use loads of images within CSS. Every webpage I have ever made has used loads of images within the CSS. Nothing wrong with using them 🙂

I would make a test webpage, download software with code hinting, and start playing around. That's how I learned.

In my opinion you need to set a project and search online every time you get stuck. It's not something you can learn over night. I learnt just by messing around. Have fun with it 🙂.

CSS is a difficult language to understand, but once you get the hang of it, just like all other coding languages, it's easy to remember and understand. There are many great tutorials online, you just need to find them. 🙂
