|-
|| Slide: Title
|| Welcome to the Spoken Tutorial on '''First CSS File'''.
|-
|| Slide 2:

Learning Objectives
|| In this tutorial we will learn,

* To create a '''CSS''' file
* Syntax of '''CSS'''
* Linking a '''CSS''' file with the '''HTML''' file

|-
|| Slide 3:

System Requirements

|| This tutorial is recorded using,

* '''Ubuntu Linux OS v 18.04 '''
* '''CSS3'''
* '''HTML5'''
* '''gedit Text Editor'''
* '''Firefox web browser'''

However you may use any other '''editor''' or '''browser''' of your choice.
|-
|| Slide 4: Prerequisite

https://spoken-tutorial.org
|| To practise this tutorial,

You should know to use any '''WYSIWYG '''or '''Text Editor''' and a '''Web Browser'''.

You should also have some basic knowledge of '''HTML.'''

If not, please go through the '''HTML '''tutorials on this website.
|-
|| Slide 5: Code Files
|| The files used in this tutorial are available in the '''Code Files''' link on this tutorial page.

Please download and extract them.

Make a copy and then use them while practising.
|-
|| Open Gedit
|| Now we will see how to create a simple '''CSS style''' file.

Open any '''text editor'''.

I have already opened my '''gedit Text Editor.'''
|-
|| Slide: Syntax

selector {property: value}
|| This is the syntax to write the style for the '''HTML'''

The syntax has two parts:

'''Selector''' and '''Declaration'''
|-
|| Slide: Selector
|| The '''selector''' can be any one of the following:

* '''Element'''
* '''Descendant'''
* '''Grouping'''
* '''Universal'''
* '''Id'''
* '''Class'''

|-
|| Slide: Declaration
||
* '''Declaration''' assigns a particular '''property''' and '''value''' to the '''selector'''.
* We can declare multiple style '''properties''' for a '''selector''' using a '''semicolon'''.
* '''Declaration''' has to be written inside the braces.

|-
|| Slide: Syntax Example
|| Here is an example.
|-
|| Switch to gedit
|| Now let us start writing our '''CSS''' code.

Switch to the '''editor'''.
|-
|| [gedit]

body {

background-color: yellow;

}
|| First we will set the background color for the '''body''' as '''yellow'''.

To do so, type the code as shown.
|-
|| [gedit] Highlight: body
|| Here the '''selector''' is '''body''', a '''HTML tag.'''
|-
|| [gedit] Highlight:

{

background-color: yellow;

}
|| Next I have declared the '''style''' within curly braces.

|-
|| [gedit] Highlight:

background-color: yellow;
|| In the '''declaration''' part, '''background-color''' is the '''style property''' and '''yellow''' is its '''value'''.
|-
|| Only narration
|| Our code is ready.

So let’s save this file now.
|-
|| Press '''Ctrl + S'''
|| I’ll press '''Ctrl + S '''keys on my keyboard.

The '''Save''' '''As''' dialog box opens.
|-
|| Select Desktop
|| Now choose the desired location to save your file.

I will select '''Desktop''' on my machine.
|-
|| Create Folder →my-css
|| Then I will create a folder with the help of the “'''Create Folder'''” button and name it as '''my hyphen css'''.

This folder will help me to organize my '''css''' files in a single location on my machine.
|-
|| Filename → mystyle.css

|| I will name the file as '''mystyle.css'''

Please note that the '''CSS''' files have to be saved with '''.css''' file extension.
|-
|| Click on '''Save'''
|| Then, click on the '''Save''' button.

Our file is saved now.
|-
|| Open Desktop → my-css folder >> double-click to open
|| Let us check our saved file.

Go to the '''Desktop''' folder.

Here is the folder '''my hyphen css.'''

I will double-click to open it.
|-
|| Point to css file
|| This is the newly created '''CSS''' file.
|-
|| Only narration
|| We have successfully created our first '''CSS''' file and saved it.

Now let’s learn how to '''run''' it.
|-
|| Slide: Note
||
* '''CSS''' file is a dependent file.
* It must be linked with a '''HTML''' file to see the changes.

Let us link a '''CSS''' file to a '''HTML''' file.
|-
|| Point to Mypage.html in my-css folder
|| For this demonstration, we will use the file '''Mypage.html'''.

I have already downloaded this file and saved it in my practice folder.

The same file is available in the '''Code files''' link for practice.
|-
|| Right-click >> select '''Open With'''
|| Right-click on the '''HTML''' file and select '''Open With Other Application '''option.
|-
|| Select '''Open With Firefox'''
|| Then choose any '''web browser''' that is available.

I will choose '''Firefox'''.

This will open our '''HTML''' file in the '''Firefox web browser'''.
|-
|| Highlight the background
|| The '''webpage''' opens.

Notice that the background color of the page is white.

Now let us set the background color to yellow with the help of our '''CSS''' file.
|-
|| Right-click >> select '''Open With'''
|| Switch to the folder.

Right-click on the '''HTML''' file and select '''Open With Other Application '''option.
|-
|| Select '''Open With gedit'''
|| Then choose any '''text editor''' that is available.

I will choose '''gedit'''.

This will open our '''HTML''' file in the '''gedit text editor'''.
|-
|| [gedit - Mypage.html]

Type:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css">
|| Inside the '''head''' section next to the '''title tag''', type the code as shown.
|-
|| Highlight

<link rel="stylesheet" href="mystyle.css">
|| This will link the '''mystyle.css''' file which we created earlier, to this '''HTML''' file.
|-
|| Press Ctrl + S
|| Save the file.
|-
|| Switch to firefox
|| Switch to the '''browser''' and refresh the page.
|-
|| Highlight the output
|| Observe the output.

Now the background color is set to yellow.
|-
|| Switch to mystyle.css
|| Let’s do some more changes in the '''CSS''' file.

Switch to the '''mystyle.css''' file.
|-
|| [gedit - mystyle.css]

Type:

h1 {

color: blue;

text-align: center;

}
|| Next to the '''body''' '''tag''', type the code as shown here.

This will set the text color to blue and align the content of '''h1 heading tag '''to the centre.
|-
|| Press Ctrl + S
|| Save the file once again.
|-
|| Switch to firefox
|| Switch to the '''browser''' and refresh the page.
|-
|| Highlight the output
|| Observe the output.

Now the text appears in blue colour and it is '''center-aligned.'''
|-
|| Only narration
|| So far, we have learned to set '''styles''' for the '''HTML element''' as a '''selector'''.

We also declared single and multiple '''style properties''' for the '''selector'''.

Now let us learn about the usage of other '''selectors'''.
|-
|| Slide: Selectors
||
* '''Descendant''' - Will set the style if a defined element comes inside a particular element
* '''Grouping''' - Will set the same styles for multiple elements
* '''Universal''' - Will set the styles of all the '''HTML elements '''at the same time
* '''Id''' - Will set the style for a single unique element
* '''Class''' - Will set the style for more than one element

Let us see some examples for this.
|-
|| Slide: Descendant Selector
|| '''p b {color: green;}'''

In this case if the '''bold tag''' comes inside the '''paragraph tag''', text color will be set to green.

For this we have to give a '''space''' between the '''elements'''.
|-
|| Show example of Descendant Selector
|| Here is an example for '''Descendant Selector'''
|-
|| Slide: Grouping Selector
|| '''h1, h2, h3 { background-color: red;}'''

In this case the background colour for '''h1, h2 '''and''' h3 tags''' will be set to red.

For this we have to use a '''comma '''between the '''elements.'''
|-
|| Show example of Grouping Selector
|| Here is an example for '''Grouping Selector'''
|-
|| Slide: Universal Selector
|| '''* {color: blue} '''

This will set the text color for the entire page to blue.

Here instead of '''element''' names, we have to use an '''asterisk''' '''symbol''' as a '''selector.'''
|-
|| Show example of Universal Selector
|| Here is an example for '''Universal Selector'''
|-
|| Slide: id Selector

'''#list1 {color: blue;}'''
|| In this case, in '''CSS''' we have a '''hash symbol''' and a '''name''' next to the '''id''' as a '''selector'''.
|-
|| Slide: id Selector

'''<nowiki><ul id="list1"></nowiki>'''

:'''<nowiki><li>HTML</li></nowiki>'''

:'''<nowiki><li>CSS</li></nowiki>'''

:'''<nowiki><li>Java Script</li></nowiki>'''

'''<nowiki></ul></nowiki>'''
|| In '''HTML''' we have to use '''id =''' name of the''' id''' in '''double quotes''' inside the respective '''element’s''' start '''tag'''.
|-
|| Show example of id Selector
|| Here is an example for '''id Selector'''
|-
|| Slide: class Selector

'''. list1 {color: blue;}'''
|| In this case, In '''CSS''' we have a '''dot operator''' and a '''name''' of the '''class''' as a '''selector'''.
|-
|| Slide: class Selector

'''<nowiki><ul class="list1"></nowiki>'''

:'''<nowiki><li>HTML</li></nowiki>'''

:'''<nowiki><li>CSS</li></nowiki>'''

:'''<nowiki><li>Java Script</li></nowiki>'''

'''</ul>'''
|| In '''HTML''' we have to use '''class = '''name of the''' class''' in '''double quotes''' inside the respective '''element’s''' start '''tag'''.
|-
|| Show example of class Selector
|| Here is an example for '''class Selector'''
|-
||
|| Try these on your own.

With this we have come to the end of this tutorial.
