what is CSS?
CSS, which stands for Cascading Style Sheets, is a programming language used for styling the presentation of a website or web page. It determines how elements on a web page look, including their colors, fonts, layout, and more. It works in conjunction with HTML, the markup language used for structuring the content of a web page. CSS uses a set of rules to select and apply styles to specific elements on a web page, allowing developers to have more control over the visual design and layout of websites. Here is an example of how CSS can be used to change the color of headings on a web page:
css Copy code
h1 {
color: red;
}
what is css
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. It is a language used to describe the look and formatting of a document written in HTML. CSS is used to control how elements on a webpage are displayed, including their layout, fonts, colors, and other visual aspects. It allows web developers to separate the content of a webpage from its presentation, making it easier to maintain and update the design of a website.
Here is an example of CSS code:
css Copy code
body {
background-color: #f5f5f5;
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
}
h1 {
color: blue;
}
p {
font-size: 16px;
}
In the example above, the CSS code sets the background color of the webpage to light gray (#f5f5f5), specifies the font family to be Arial or a sans-serif font, makes the text color of level 1 headings blue, and sets the font size of paragraphs to 16 pixels.
What does HTML mean? What does CSS mean?
HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and is a markup language used to structure and provide meaning to webpages. An example of HTML code is:
html Copy code
<h1>Welcome to my Website!</h1>
CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets, and is used to style the elements on a webpage. An example of CSS code is:
css Copy code
h1 {
color: blue;
font-size: 20px
}

AI stands for Artificial Intelligence. AI bots are able to learn from conversations with users and expand their knowledge this way.
SheCodes Athena will help you with technical questions about your code using artificial intelligence to find the answer. Imagine a super powerful human who has memorized everything on the internet and can access that knowledge in a matter of seconds. 🤯
SheCodes Athena can answer most coding-related questions, even complicated ones! It can even find bugs in your code and tell you how to fix them in just a few seconds. Impressive, right?
Just remember we're still in testing mode so the AI may return strange or incorrect replies. Feel free to message us if this happens!
SheCodes Athena can only reply to coding-related technical questions. The same type of questions you would ask in the channels on Slack.
For questions that are not coding-related, write us here 😃
You should treat Athena like a SheCodes team member, so always be polite! 😊 Ask your questions as detailed as possible, just like you would do on Slack.
Here are some examples:
- Prettier isn't working on my VS Code. How do I fix this?
- How do I make bullet points with different colors using the list element?
- My code in Codesandbox is having some issues. Can you please tell me what the issue is? [Include the link to your Codesandbox]
For now, SheCodes Athena is limited to 5 questions per day for each student.
In that case, you can either ask SheCodes Athena a follow-up question, or you can post on the designated weekly channel on Slack!
Our technical assistants are still available on Slack and are always happy to help! 😍💪
Remember, questions are limited to 1000 characters.
- If you're working with an HTML file: Post a snippet of your code related to the issue you're having (just copy the code and paste it into the question box).
- If you're working with Codesandbox: Good news, you can just post the link to your Codesandbox and the AI Assistant will be able to view your code.
- If you have a longer question that would require an entire HTML file or more than 1000 characters, post it in the designated weekly channels on Slack! 😃
Athena was the Greek goddess of wisdom, among other elements. She received her name from the city of Athens, which she is known for protecting.
Much like the goddess Athena, SheCodes Athena is also incredibly wise and can solve complicated coding puzzles in a matter of seconds! 😍
Not likely. AI can automate tasks and make developers' jobs more efficient but it can't fully replace the human ability to deal with complex software. And AI will still require human developers to supervise and improve it further.
So developers may see their tasks change but they won't be replaced by AI. 👩💻🤝💻
