2010-01-14 Thread Marvin Hunkin
hi.
well a member of blind geeks.
and asked to write a short basic tutorial on css.
did learn css in my web design course in 2007.
and di use it a bit to tweek a web project recently.
but my question is:
what resources and what links to some tutorials to get a handle on how to 
write a short css tutorial.
and how to write one.
and what do i need to put in it.
just asking.
i do know css, but a bit rusty.
and totally blind.
so the biggest problem, where things are located on screen.
so any one got any ideas where to start and how to write a tutorial for this 
technical group.
Marvin.

Hi Marvin,

The w3schools tutorial is handy: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_intro.asp
The reference is useful too: http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_reference.asp

Cheers,
Rob

Marvin,
You may want to try checking out the W3Schools at 
http://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
That site should provide you with way more than enough information to do a 
couple of tutorials..


Cheers,
DougB

 Unless their CSS tutorial is better than their HTML, I'd avoid
 w3schools like the plague!

RE: [WSG] css tutorial

2010-01-14 Thread Andrew Cooper
 
Hi Marvin,

 

If you're looking for help on CSS and some reference materials then I can't 
recommend the SitePoint CSS Reference [Located at: 
http://reference.sitepoint.com/css] highly enough. And as Chris said, I'd avoid 
W3Schools.com like the plague, it is severely lacking in up to date tutorial 
materials.

 

All the best,

 

Andrew Cooper

 

P.S This is my first reply in the WSG Mailing List! :)

If you're going to snipe, it's a good idea to provide an explanation and say
why you think something is a bad idea.

   There is no good reason for anything other than font-size: 100%.
