In this hands-on course, you will learn about Cascading Style Sheets (CSS).  You will discover how CSS differs from classic html development, and you will see the improvements that come along with these differences.  Used properly, CSS can provide you with accessible web sites.  You will learn how to use CSS techniques properly to avoid any accessibility problems.  We will create style sheets to control text styling, backgrounds, images, page layout, navigation and interactivity.  We will work with style sheets designed for different types of devices, including assistive technology to ensure accessibility, and printing without cutting off web pages.
