• The main points of the program

• Introduction

  Why CSS is often ignored or misunderstood.
  • Discussing CSS is only an "style" rather than an important misunderstanding like JavaScript or back -end logic.
    CSS as the cornerstone of modern web development
    • : CSS is not just aesthetics; it is essential for creating an experience that adapts to different equipment, enhance performance, and ensure accessible experience.
      • CSS affects the user experience by controlling the presentation of content presentation, ensuring the dynamic layout of readability, and the dynamic layout of user needs.
      • For example, CSS supports the response design, which can automatically adjust the layout of mobile devices, tablets, and desktop computer users without having to repeat content or separate HTML files.
      • accessability is the key aspect of CSS. Among them, attributes such as focus, contrast, and responding fonts can ensure that everyone (including disabled people) can use websites.
      CSS and performance optimization
    :
    • The correctly constructed CSS reduces the loading time by avoiding excessive internal connection styles and using the cache in the external style table.
      By using modern CSS functions, developers can use fewer code lines to achieve complex layouts, thereby improving efficiency and maintainability.
      • grid-template-areas CSS framework and tools (such as Tailwind, Bootstrap, and modern functions) have made CSS the core of component -based design systems.
    • Overview of the content of this program.
    Provide the audience with a roadmap.
  • 2. The correct foundation
  Follow point separation: maintain structure, style and behavior separation.
  Definition
  : Follow the point separation to ensure HTML processing structure, CSS processing style, JavaScript processing interactivity. Each layer is responsible for its field.
  • Separation table separation
    • : Use the external style table for all CSS rules to maintain the simplicity of HTML and focus on the semantic structure.
    • Moderate pattern tables for the different aspects of the project, such as for general styles, for reusable elements, and
      for page specific rules.
      Use pre -processor tools such as SASS to divide the style into part (for example,
      • , global.css), and combine them into a single style table that can be used for production. components.css pages.css
      • Advantages _buttons.scss: _forms.scss
      Improve maintenance: changes in the first layer will not accidentally affect other layers.
    Repeatability: Styles can be reused in multiple pages or components without repeating structures or logic.
    • Enhanced collaboration: Developers specializing in different fields can work in parallel.
      Common traps
      • :
      • Mixed internal style in HTML or CSS operation based on JavaScript.
      Excessive dependence of style attributes.
    • Best practice
      :
      Clearly organize files to separate global styles, component styles, and utility.
      Use the CSS framework or method (such as BEM) to keep clarity.
  • Example :
    Wrong:
    • <div style="color: red;"> Correct: Define a class in the external style table, such as
    , and apply it:
    • .text-red <div class="text-red">
(The following content is slightly repeated according to the original structure, and only the expression of key information and the expression of pseudo -original creation)

• Practical examples: theme and dynamic style.
• debugging skills and traps.
5. CSS method used for scalable projects

BEM, OOCSS and SMACSS Overview.

• How to choose the right method for your project.
• The examples and benefits of real world.
• Skills of implementation methods.
6. The accessability in CSS

Color contrast and readability.

• Effective use of focus status.
• Avoid damage to accessable anti -mode.
7. Explore the frontier function

container query: when they use them and when to use them.

• Rolling link animation: Create the effect of dynamic and user -friendly.
• Other latest updates in CSS (e.g., subnet grid, nested selectioner).
