CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a stylesheet language used to control the presentation of web pages, enhancing visual appeal with customizable designs, layouts, and responsive features. It separates content from design, facilitating easier updates and consistency across multiple pages, while its selectors and box model help in organizing and positioning elements. Key advantages include improved loading times, easier maintenance, and compatibility across various devices.

WHY USE
CSS ??
We use CSS to make websites look attractive,
organized, and easy to use by customizing colors,
fonts, layouts, and styles, instead of having plain,
boring text and images.
• Separates content from design.
• Enables reusability and consistency across multiple
web pages.
• Enhances user experience with responsive design.
CSS makes it easier to update and manage the design of a
website because changes can be made in one place and
applied across multiple pages.

HOW TO USE CSS ??
• CSS works by targeting HTML elements and applying visual styles based on
selectors.
• It enables detailed customization of layout, appearance, and behavior.
• Key concepts include the "cascading" nature of rules (where more specific
or later rules take precedence), the inheritance of styles, and the box model
for element dimensions.
• CSS also helps with positioning and layout using methods like Flexbox
and Grid, allows for responsive designs using media queries, and
provides dynamic effects like animations and transitions.
• Through these features, CSS makes websites flexible, visually appealing,
and interactive.

selectors to target specific tags (e.g., p or h1), class selectors (.classname) for
elements with a shared class, and ID selectors (#idname) for unique
elements.
• Advanced selectors include descendant selectors for nested elements,
sibling selectors for adjacent or general siblings, and attribute selectors to
style elements based on attributes.
• Pseudo-classes target elements in specific states
(e.g., :hover), while pseudo-elements style parts of elements (e.g., ::first-line).
