Abstract
This book on Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) takes a very different approach from most. It isn’t trying to teach you how to design web pages and, aside from a cursory overview, isn’t focused on teaching you how to use CSS. This chapter introduces the focus of this book, which is how (and why) to treat CSS as a programming language.
