CSS

CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets and describes how HTML elements are to be displayed on screen, paper, or in other media. The main benefit is efficiency — you can manage the appearance of an entire website by modifying a single external stylesheet file rather than updating each page individually.

JavaScript

JavaScript is the programming language of the web that runs in browsers to make websites interactive. It allows developers to modify HTML content, change styles, and respond to user actions like clicks and form submissions, bringing static web pages to life with dynamic behavior and real-time updates.
