So...I'm bored at work, and I figure I should do something [other than work] to occupy my time. And I think now would be the best time for me to learn CSS...I've got plenty of time and I don't have any computer/video games or tv to distract me.

So I was just wondering, for any CSS designers out there, where/how did you learn it? Links to online material are appreciated.

EDIT: Oh wow, Tim's right...one more post to 3000. I should make it a sig topic or something...

EDIT 2: AW MAN, I left and forgot...my 3000th post ended up in Mike's topic.

I learned CSS the same way i learned HTML: i viewed other sites' source code and put things together—no tutorials; all at my time at home. Though, i increased my knowledge in it (i.e. building for standards) by looking up tutorials for it. And, like always, there's W3 Schools.

Hello, johnny! There are a few places I learned CSS. I used W3 Schools and brain bench.also, check out the library when you get home- there is always somthing there! Well, Css is cool, because all the color and font tags in html are deprecated. Happy Learning CSS!

EDIT-
Dang, truefusion! You beat me to it!

Edit 2-

@Johnny-

I've learned CSS with e-Books .. if you want me to give you an ebook of CSS just PM me.. cause I can't add it here

there are a bazillion tutorials on the web. even some here at the trap.
The Tutorials/lessons at w3schools is good. They feature a try-it board also. And their reference pages are good too.

http://www.cssplay.co.uk has a good tutorial on Menu building and the examples there are terrific to use a learning, but nothing beats practice, practice, practice. If you want, I will build you a template with lots of classes and div's and you can practice on that???

I learned css from my web design teacher i tried using tutorials but that did not work then i got some e-books and they helped me a bit.

Lets see I first learned CSS through looking at source code and then copying and pasting from CSS examples. I Have read a few tutorials, but for the more advance stuff and of course from other people over the years as well. Of course a lot of trial and error for hte last couple of years to perfect positioning and design.

I learned CSS by experimenting and W3Schools. Its not that hard once you get the hang of it. Start out just using it to do simple things and then build up from there, like you would with any other langauge.

Looks like a lot of suggestions for w3schools...

I checked it out, it seems pretty easy when you get the hang of it. Just gotta remember stuff, but that's like any language.

Maybe I just had a bad experience with those overelaborate myspace codes.
