Practical CSS3 Mastery Course - Box Model Margin and Padding

The video tutorial covers the CSS box model, focusing on the concepts of margin and padding. It demonstrates creating HTML and CSS files, styling a container, and understanding the impact of padding and margin on layout. The tutorial addresses the box model problem, where the total width of a container can exceed the specified width due to added padding, margin, and borders.
