<h1>Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)</h1>

<p>A Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) files contain rules for how to display and

lay out the HTML content when it is rendered by a web browser.</p>

<h2>Why is CSS necessary?</h2>

<p>CSS separates content contained in the HTML file from how the content

should be displayed. That separation between content and how to display it

enables devices to render the content differently based on factors such as

screen size. For example, a mobile device does not have as much space to

display a navigation bar on the side of a page so it is often pushed down

below the main content. The

<a href="http://getbootstrap.com/examples/blog/">Bootstrap Blog example</a>

shows that scenario when you resize the browser width.</p>

<h2>How is CSS retrieved from the web server?</h2>

<p>The HTML file sent by the web server contains a reference to the CSS file(s)

needed to render the content. The web browser requests the CSS file after the

HTML file as shown below in a screenshot captured of the Chrome Web Developer

Tools network traffic.</p>

<p>That request for the fsp.css file is made because the HTML file for Full

Stack Python contains a reference to <code>theme/css/fsp.css</code> which is shown

in the view source screenshot below.</p>

<h2>Responsive design</h2>

<p>Responsive design is an approach for creating CSS that lays out content

differently based on screen attributes. The responsiveness is accomplished

by implementing

<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Media_queries">media queries</a>

in the CSS. </p>

<h2>CSS preprocessors</h2>

<ul>

<li>

</li>

<li>

</li>

</ul>

<h2>CSS frameworks</h2>

<p>CSS frameworks provide structure and a boilerplate base for building a

web application's design.</p>

Highly recommended especially if you feel you have no design skills but

need to learn them.</p>

CSS.</p>

with CSS.</p>
