Featured presentation: Cascading Style Sheets, by Ted Roche
"Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) allow developers and web page
authors to add color, font effects and layout to the hypertext
markup language that describes the content and structure of
the HTML document. CSS can be applied in layers, switched out
depending on conditions, or used to specify print vs. screen
media. "Introduction to CSS" will look at how CSS works:
selectors, style declarations, the CSS Box model, positioning
elements with CSS, and wrap up the basics with a review of
the rules that make CSS cascade: order, inheritance and
specificity.
"We'll also have a quick preview of what to anticipate in
HTML5 and the latest CSS (2.1 for IE8 and 3 for the rest of
the world)."
