One of the greatest innovations in web development, for my money, has to be the introduction of CSS. Learning CSS is not terribly difficult, and it makes designing any type of website an extremely easy process for almost anyone. The best part about CSS is that how such small amounts of code can translate into very powerful styling.

I’m not that hot at CSS, but I’m getting better in recent months. The process of learning for me is to get right in there and try. If you get your hands dirty, you’re more likely to learn. But I’m constantly surprised at just how powerful stylesheets really can be. Plus, they keep your presentation layer seperate from the rest of your web app.

Learning CSS is going to take years, or rather I should say that mastery will take years. But it will be worth it because the standard continues to thrive. CSS should be around for a long, long time.
