    What’s The Deal With CSS4?

    Introduction

    Cascading Style Sheets or more commonly known as CSS is "a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language such as HTML. CSS is a cornerstone technology of the World Wide Web, alongside HTML and JavaScript." - Wikipedia. In lamens terms, it is beautifying the website and giving style to HTML, such as colours, fonts, backgrounds, spacing, styles, etc. You get three types of CSS, namely: internal, external, and inline CSS. Each has a declaration, a CSS property name and property value, ending off in a semicolon.


    Different CSS versions


    CSS1

    CSS1 or CSS Level 1 was first proposed in 1994 by Håkon Wium Lie. It was later released end of 1996. It only had roughly 50 basic properties. It maily focussed on styling text on a web page.


    CSS2

    CSS Level 2 saw more advanced properties allowing for position of page layouts and better styling in 1998.


    CSS2.1

    CSS2.1 mainly focused on fixing errors and removing some of the CSS2 features that either didn't work or were poorly supported. The back and forth drafts and recommendations took almost 9 years to be officially published back in 2011.


    CSS3

    CSS3 saw even more advanced features such as animations being added. The main difference between CSS2.1 and CSS3 is that the latter is split into different modules. Each module has different levels in its own phase of development or review. The main reason for this is that CSS2.1 took too long to be approved and published. So you could have some modules at level 1, never to be changed, others at level 2, and some modules even at level 4.


    CSS4

    What is CSS4? There seems to be quite some hype around this new version. There are many discussions on when is it coming out, what is it, what features does it all include, and so on. Well, the shocking part of it all is that's not the case at all. CSS4 is not even a thing, nor will it be. It's not a new language nor a whole new version of CSS. It is simply just an online clickbait sensation.


    Conclusion

    CSS is one of my favourite languages to use for building websites. I love its flexibility of changing absolutely anything. Although one can appreciate new CSS feautres evolving and changing over time, don't get caught up in the online hype of CSS4. It won't be coming out and will never be released.
