Help! I have never learned any coding including CSS. Where can I learn what I need for this part of course?

If you are on the Front End Web Development track or the Web Design track, you will go through the CSS Basics course after you finish up the How to Make a Website course. There are also other courses in the library if you want to go through some of those.

If your totally new at computers:

digital literacy

Don't be afraid to get your hands dirty make your own projects. Like for example I want to create a block or circle. I want the logo here. ETC. That's how I learned before teamtreehouse.

Also look at others code examples and put the code in your own words. Like for example what is this code trying to do and what does it mean. Then modify it make it your own.

Hi Vicki,

Since it sounds like you have no coding experience, I would recommend doing what I did (as well as some of these other commentators) to get started in coding. Visit W3Schools.com where they have free tutorials that will help you build a solid foundation in HTML and CSS so that these courses here on Treehouse make a little more sense.

OR, you can use W3Schools.com as a resource while you're taking a Treehouse course. If you find yourself confused, pause the video, go to W3Schools.com, learn about the subject using their tutorials, and then come back to your video or track on Treehouse.

I personally started with HTML (structure) and then started incorporating CSS (appearance) into my personal lesson plans. HTML is a great way to start because it helps your mind start adjusting to the idea of coding.

Ultimately, it's like learning to do math. You can't really perform any complex equations until you understand how to add on the most basic level including understanding numbers and their value system.

So, be patient with yourself and allow yourself time to form a solid foundation. Once the foundation is formed, you'll be able to adopt new techniques much faster.

Good luck! If my response answers your question, please consider marking it as a Best Answer! :) If not, let me know if you have any other questions and I'll do my best to help you out.

Best wishes,

It all depends on where you are coming from, I first picked up CSS3 from w3schools, branched out into a beginners book and from there Team Treehouse helped me branch out more.

However I had a larger background in Javascript and HTML5, Typically a PDF book or a mentor can be great way to feel comfortable in a new language.
