Cascading Style Sheets — or CSS —<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is the language web developers and designers use to stylize and format documents that are created in HTML. CSS is what you’d use if you wanted to organize the layout and <\/span>improve the look and feel<\/span><\/a> of a web page. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This article will help you learn what HTML5 and CSS3 are and learn about CSS3’s most essential modules and features. We’ll also cover the use and need of CSS3, who is best suited to learning and using CSS3, and how it can accelerate your career growth.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What Exactly are CSS3 and HTML5?<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

HTML and CSS are the core language components that are used for the construction of web pages. <\/span><\/span><\/span>HTML describes the structure of the pages, primarily in regards to tables, text, headings, and images or graphics. It’s the standard programming language for the overall appearance of web pages. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CSS, on the other hand, is the language used for describing the presentation of each page, and primarily in regards to the layout, fonts, and colors.   <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HTML5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

HTML5 is a revision of the HTML standard. It’s a massive improvement over HTML4 because HTML4 did not allow web developers to add features to their sites that were not HTML-supported. To do so required the use of proprietary technologies and the installation of browser plugins. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Subsequently, if web users did not have a device that supported the use of those proprietary technologies or plugins either, then they could not access the content. An example is how Safari on mobile Apple devices does not support the use of Adobe Flash.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The main purpose behind HTML5 was to remove the need for proprietary technologies and plugins. You can create offline applications, and include multimedia animations, audio, and video into your web pages without needing to download extra plugins to include said applications or multimedia. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CSS3<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Web designers and developers use CSS3 and HTML to build and modify content on a web page. CSS lets you choose from different typographies, images, colors, tables, and much more to stylize a web page in a way that’s intuitive for users and aesthetically pleasing. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Without CSS, we wouldn’t have any way to position different elements on a web page — CSS lets you use values like ‘fixed’ and ‘absolute’ to position a web page’s visual components.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

CSS3 is simply the updated version of an earlier version of CSS (CSS2). It has many important improvements and features that help improve your web presence and are now being utilized in modern browsers, including:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
