Cascading StyleSheet (CSS3)
The CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) course offered by The Geek Institute of Cyber Security is a comprehensive and professionally structured program designed to teach students how to style and visually enhance web pages with precision and creativity. Starting from the basics of syntax and implementation, learners are introduced to various selector types, the box model, text formatting, backgrounds, and borders. Whether students are absolute beginners or looking to sharpen their frontend design skills, this course lays a strong foundation by covering all essential concepts in a structured, step-by-step format.
As students progress, they dive into advanced layout techniques such as Flexbox and CSS Grid, which allow for the creation of responsive and dynamic user interfaces. The course also covers modern design enhancements like transitions, animations, filters, and shadows, helping students bring interactivity and smooth user experiences to life. Special attention is given to responsive design using media queries and container queries, ensuring students can build mobile-first websites that work across all devices.
By the end of the course, learners will have mastered the art of creating clean, maintainable, and professional-grade website layouts. They will complete real-world design projects such as navigation menus, cards, responsive forms, and full web pages. Additionally, they will gain an understanding of industry practices like BEM naming, performance optimization, and cross-browser compatibility. This CSS course not only prepares students for frontend development roles but also provides a strong base for learning JavaScript and full-stack development.
