 What is CSS?

Cascading Style Sheets or CSS is a coding language used to describe how an element should be rendered on the screen. The most common extensions are HTML, XML, SVG, etc.

Fonts
Before start coding, we are going to talk about the fonts that we can use. We can use any font that we have installed on our computer or web safe fonts, if we use a font that someone doesn't have installed the text is probably going to appear with a Sans Serif They're five big families of fonts: Serif, Sans Serif, Display, Handwriting, and Monospace.

To use them, in the source editor, you should put:

font-family  : "Times New Roman", Times, serif ;

Here you have a list of the most common web safe fonts and you can also search more fonts here.

Colors
The next category that we are going to see, are the colors that we can use on CSS, here, we can put the colors by the name (for example "cyan"), by the hexadecimal/hex RGB (example #008080) or by the RGB decimal code (204 255 00).

If we want to use colors on a text using the Hex, we should do the next on your source editor:

span style="color:#ffffff;font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:16px;font-weight:normal;" You can find all the colors available on Wikia here This page is on Spanish cause English page has less info!

Symbols
Symbols are the base of a code, in CSS, normally you use to start a code, and you finish it with, but they're a lot more of symbols that you can use, here you have a list of them , we're going to talk about the different symbols and the specific uses later.
