MVC part 2

Picking up where we left off, one of the more common questions asked during project 1 was "can I use CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) in my project?" While there was no penalty for using it at your discretion (let me say a quick "thank you" to the people who cared enough to go that far), it was neither necessary nor expected since some students had never built a web page before.

CSS uses a key-value (or, in particular "property"-value pair) for listing attributes and their associated specifications as defined by the user. For an overview of the evolution of CSS (originally created at Opera software) this hub of articles is quite informative. For particular hand-holding references, one way to get started is by means of this page here or this interactive tutorial. Even seasoned pros may find that they have much to gain from reviewing this website (highly recommended for those of you who think you've already mastered the subject. I personally gained a wealth of extra knowledge more than 10 years after "learning" CSS to a "proficient" degree.

Not to be taken lightly, CSS is one of many forms of style sheets currently in existence - all for configuring the "view" of data (models) in digital media. Since its conventional adoption, stylesheets have been used to template xml documents, both for web transformations, as well as other literary applications. Moreover, CSS has had such a loyal following that some unofficial extensions have been created to add further functionality and expand its usefulness and writability.
