Overview of this book

CSS is the preferred technology to design modern web pages. Although CSS is often perceived as a simple language, applying modern styles to web pages with CSS and maintaining the code for larger websites can be quite tricky. We will take you right from understanding CSS to designing high-quality web pages in CSS3. We'll quickly take you through CSS3's features, and show you how to resolve common issues so you can build your basic framework. Finally, you will learn about code architecture and CSS methodologies used in scalable apps and you'll explore the various new features of CSS3, such as FlexBox, to help you create the most modern layout methodologies. By the end of the book, you will be a master at creating pure CSS web pages and will know sophisticated web design techniques, giving you an edge over other web designers.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned the basics of pseudoclasses, pseudoelements, and the drawing of primitives in CSS code. As a front end developer, you will use these CSS elements very often. Pseudoclasses give you the basic interactivity (hover, active) and expand the possibilities of selectors (:nth-child, :first-child, :last-child). With pseudoelements, you can expand the possibilities of HTML with CSS code (:before, :after, :first-letter, :first-line) and you can set styles to selection.

In the next chapter, you will get basic knowledge about media queries, which are the foundation for responsive websites.
