Meanings: CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheet. The Modern Language to add design to the web pages.
Design means a lot of things what we see today on web pages. Like text shadows, some of the animations, border radius', transforms , transitions etc. All these things belongs to CSS and CSS3.
Prerequisites: To use CSS3 in your web pages you must know HTML/XHTML.
The HTML language could not format the content on pages. It was intended to define content on pages.
Like
<p>This is a paragraph</p>
<h>This is a heading</h>
And when the tags like and color attribution were added into HTML 3.2 specifications, it became an nightmare for the web developers.
Development of large websites, where the fonts and colors information was to added on every single page, became a long and expensive process.
To solve this problem, the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) created CSS. In HTML 4.0, all formatting could be removed from the HTML document, and stored in a separate CSS file.
All browsers support CSS today.
CSS3 saves a lot of work. You can add styles and formatting to whole of the website by just adding a single page. Now you can develop a whole website and the formatting for the whole project in a single page.
