Learn CSS Variables

This approximately one-hour course concentrates on CSS custom properties. It is a focused addition to a styling foundation, rather than a complete introduction to web development. Reusable values provide a practical way to connect repeated colors, spacing and theme decisions across a page.

What you will learn

• Declare reusable values with CSS custom properties.
• Use shared values across related style rules.
• Explore how changing a variable affects an interface.

Who this suits

HTML and CSS users who want to reduce repeated styling values. Scrimba classifies the course as intermediate.

Before you enroll

The published prerequisite field is unspecified, so inspect a preview against your current CSS knowledge. Custom properties still follow the cascade and need testing in their actual component context.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Tool subscriptions, model API usage and cloud services may cost extra.

Put it into practice

Give a small interface two themes using a shared set of custom properties. Check text contrast and identify any component that still depends on a hard-coded color.
