Our students say:

“I have just finished up my first online class, Introduction to CSS. I did have a previous knowledge of using css with my various web sites and found the first part of the course easy to follow and understand. Each of the lessons were presented in a clear concise manner.

The later lessons on positioning were more difficult but the examples given made it much easier to understand what we were trying to learn. You can follow the classes online or download the lesson each week. There was ample time to finish the various assignments. The back and forth sharing with the other students helped to clarify the lessons and you were encouraged to ask if anything was not clear. Students helped each other and our instructor, Cheryl, made sure all our questions were answered. While having the book is not a required part of the class, I found it a nice reference source.

I would recommend this class to anyone wanting to learn css. While prior knowledge of css is not required, I feel at least some basic understanding of what it is is helpful. You do need a basic understanding of html coding.”
