 Chapter -1 (Intro to the CSS)

CSS is the language for designing web pages. It is maintained by www (World Wide Web). It stands for the cascading style sheet. It helps us to make the web pages stylish and attractive. With the CSS you can also add animations and transitions to your web page. We will learn how to add these later. I hope that you will enjoy doing this course.

Why CSS

CSS is the only language for the styling of web pages. It is the only language that the browser understands for styling. The languages that the browser can understand are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

If you want to learn CSS completely then you have to read this eBook. So guys now let’s begin with what the front-end and backend are.

What is the Front End

The front end is the coding that the user on the browser can see. In other words, it is the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that is sent by the server to the browser.

What is the Backend

The backend is the code that is kept secretly on the server and is not visible to the user. There are various programming languages to develop the backend of a website like java, PHP, Python, etc.

How the Websites Work

When you enter a URL of a website then the browser goes to the server where the website is hosted from there he tells the server that this client has requested to visit your website. After that, the server does some processing in the backend and returns HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to the browser then the browser compiles this HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and gives the user his/her desired result.

What is IP ADDRESS?                                                                      

The IP address is the address of the device which we are using. When the browser goes to the server then he says that this particular IP address has requested this information and then the server sends us the information that we need. This is the other topic we will talk about sometime.

Technologies used for making the webpage in detail

There are three technologies for making the web page: JavaScript, CSS and HTML. HTML is the compulsory language whereas CSS and JavaScript are optional but without these two the web page looks ugly. That’s why we also use CSS and JavaScript along with HTML.
