# Week 01: CSS selectors

Welcome to the WebD-168 course. This class will help you in learning more intermediate and advanced web development techniques. This week we will focus on various methods of selecting elements within your webpage. Many of these methods are CSS3 techniques and offer flexibility and control without the need of additional class or ID attributes. These are a great way to enhance a webpage and still keep the HTML footprint 'light'.
