Description Hello my friends!

Long have you waited but finally I finished the first part of the CSS tutorial. This introduction is designed for absolute CSS beginners and will show you step by step the ways of CSS coding and also a bit of designing a basic graphic layout.

Hit the Download button!

I wrote the document for this tutorial in Adobe InDesign and converted it into a pdf-file. You will find it together with some stock examples in the zip-folder when you download it.

Note: You need Acrobat Reader to open the document!!! It's free software.

Continuations of the basic tutorial will be:
  • Part II: Advanced CSS
  • Part III: Smart Tricks


I hope my demonstrations will be useful for you! Good luck and much fun learning CSS for DeviantART!!!

Yea I'm defiantly an absolute beginner in css, even though I learned some in my college class, but for journals, and at the level they go at its way over my head. But I'm sure that this will help , Thanks for sharing!
