Adding Style with CSS
Self Paced Course

The course was very straightforward, clear and concise. I especially like the last chapter on "CSS layout" where you actually walk a person through setting up a basic template for a web site. You very clearly showed how a developer can build a stylesheet based on the properties learned.

The examples and practice problems were
especially useful in solidifying my understanding of CSS.
