Question

What are 3 things you learned about CSS from doing this activity? Replace the content in the LI elements below with your answer.

  1. One thing I learned today was during Tage's class that I used for this assignment was how to use AI. I learned how to give the prompt more details so that way I can get a better response with well details so that way it's not a short and simple response.
  2. Another thing I learned about CSS is how complex it can be. I can now understand why programmers like to use AI now with CSS. I already knew it could be hard, but that was with the basics that I learned last semester. Now seeing all this and how you can add things on top of things, it can get confusing and messy real fast.
  3. The last thing that I learned about CSS is how selectors work to choose specific parts of a page. We already know that we can style multiple things but the way you can style any is so complex. For an example, you're able to style a list to how you like it but then you can style something that is nested within that to another style, and then you can style another element nested within that into another. It's all so cool but also messy.
