Third Piece of the Frontend Pie: CSS
summary
Shows concrete rules: a margin-on-paragraph vs padding-on-container decision that avoids future rewrites, a working checkbox using :checked + sibling selector that hides the input and reveals an animated checkmark, and animations built with transform + transition rather than JS. Demonstrates CSS illustrations including a pure‑CSS pie as proof of concept, explains box model, specificity, cascade and inheritance, and suggests using browser inspect and Rachel Andrew’s "How to learn CSS" to practice.
