The Front-End Web Developer Bootcamp - HTML, CSS, JS, and React - Box Shadow

The video tutorial explains how to create shadows around elements using CSS, similar to border radius but with different values. It demonstrates practical implementation in VS Code, including removing and adding HTML tags, applying styles like padding, width, height, margin, border, and border radius. The tutorial covers box shadow properties, explaining the five key properties: right, bottom, blurriness, spread, and color. It also discusses how to achieve equal shadow distribution and introduces hover effects with transitions for smooth color changes.
