From Scratch Web Games: A Beginners Guide to Game Development using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
Chapter 3.1: CSS Basics Cheat Sheet
As CSS gives you control over how a document looks, this chapter’s cheat sheet is nicer looking than the HTML Basics cheat sheet. It also makes use of a css file so there are two files required for the cheat sheet.
The purpose of the cheat sheet is to give you a summary of the chapter and to allow readers who are already familiar with the material to review the material and decide if they want to skip the chapter. I urge those readers to attempt the project just to make sure they really do understand the material but that is up to you.
The cheat sheet is located here and is in my GitHub repository located at https://github.com/BillySpelchan/FromScratchHTML_CSS_JS.
