Q:

Q: CSS looks like a totally different language than HTML. Why have two languages? That’s just more for me to learn, right?

A:

A: You are quite right that HTML and CSS are completely different languages, but that is because they have very different jobs. Just like you wouldn’t use English to balance your checkbook, or Math to write a poem, you don’t use CSS to create structure or HTML to create style because that’s not what they were designed for. While it does mean you need to learn two languages, you’ll discover that because each language is good at what it does, this is actually easier than if you had to use one language to do both jobs.
