CSS 101 - A list of resources for modern standards based web design using CSS and HTML

Introduction

It isn't 1999 anymore. Modern web design uses standards based CSS and HTML. No gratuitous use of tables, no inline styles, no font tags. Separation of content from presentation. Just CSS driven design that's semantically clean to enable search engine optimized content and content that's accessible to all.

Of course, Bryght uses modern CSS and modern standards based design.

Learning modern standards based CSS design is outside the scope of this site, but on this page, we will point to some resources on exactly that topic.

Here are our favourite CSS and modern Web Design resources to help you brush up on CSS design and for reference.
