Lecture 23:- CSS Basics - III

Certainly! Let's continue with CSS Basics - Part III. In this session, we'll explore more CSS concepts and techniques to further enhance the styling of your web pages.

CSS Flexbox (Continued): Recap the CSS Flexbox layout model and learn about properties like flex-direction, justify-content, align-items, and flex-wrap to control the alignment and distribution of flex items.

CSS Grid (Continued): Review the CSS Grid layout system and learn about properties like grid-template-columns, grid-template-rows, grid-column, grid-row, and grid-gap to create complex grid-based layouts.

CSS Transitions and Animations (Continued): Further explore CSS transitions and animations by setting easing functions and animation durations.

CSS Variables (Custom Properties): CSS variables, also known as custom properties, allow you to store reusable values and apply them throughout your stylesheets.

Pseudo-Classes and Pseudo-Elements (Continued): Explore more pseudo-classes like :focus, :active, and pseudo-elements like ::before and ::after to target specific states or create decorative elements.

CSS Specificity (Continued): Understand how CSS specificity works when multiple rules target the same element, and learn to use !important with caution.

Responsive Design: Dive into the concept of responsive web design, using media queries and responsive units (em, rem, %) to adapt your layouts to different screen sizes.

CSS Reset and Normalize: Learn about CSS resets and normalize.css, which help provide consistent styles across different browsers.

Vendor Prefixes (Continued): Continue using vendor prefixes for experimental or browser-specific CSS properties.

CSS Best Practices: Practice writing clean, maintainable CSS code, and follow best practices for organization, naming conventions, and code efficiency.
