EXERCISE 1
Create a HTML document

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
1. Create a folder
1.1 Create a ﬁle called index.html
2. Make the ﬁle a html readable document:

3. Inside the <head> element, let’s add <meta> and <title> elements.
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
</head>

4. Inside the <body> element, add <h1> and <p> elements.
<body>
<h1>Put a header here</h1>
<p>And some text here</p>
</body>

5. Let’s check it out!
Double-clicking this ﬁle or dragging it into a web browser
will open it for us to review.

Common CSS terms
Selectors Properties Values
p { ... }
h1 { ... }
p {
color: ...;
font-size: ...;
}
h1 {
font-family: ...;
font-size: ...;
}
p {
color: green;
font-size: 16;
}
h1 {
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 24;
}

Type Selectors
Type selectors target elements by their element type
div { ... }
<div>...</div>
CSS
HTML
<div>...</div>

Class selectors allow us to select an element based on
the element’s class attribute value.
Class Selectors
.awesome { ... }
<div class=”awesome”>...</div>
CSS
HTML

ID Selectors
#anacidre { ... }
<div id=”anacidre”>...</div>
CSS
HTML
ID selectors are even more precise than class selectors, as they
target only one unique element at a time.

Additional Selectors
Many more advanced selectors
exist and are readily available

In order to get our CSS talking to our HTML, we need to reference our
CSS ﬁle within our HTML.
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
</head>

Create a StyleSheet
EXERCISE 2

1.1 Inside of our “styles-conference” folder, let’s create a new
folder named “assets.”
1. Create a folder named “styles-conference” inside our initial
folder.
1.2 For our style sheets, let’s go ahead and add another
folder named “stylesheets” inside the “assets” folder.
1.3 A new ﬁle named main.css and save it within the
“stylesheets” folder we just created.
1.4 Head over to Eric’s website, copy his reset, and paste
it at the top of our main.css ﬁle:
http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

2. Let’s connect our stylesheet to our index.html ﬁle.
<head>
<title>Your title here</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="main.css">
</head>
