Wordpress theme development CSS

I am doing the WordPress theme development part of the WordPress development track.

I was just wondering what the foundations.css file was?? Its mentioned in the video and i know it comes from the project downloads but there is no explanation as to what the .css file is for.

Does it have some WordPress specific styling, is it a .css file that should be used in all theme development. ( as in is it like a normalize.css file and is used in that sense ).

Thanks!!!

Foundations is a framework. That means it has CSS and other components that can be used in your projects. Frameworks help to stimulate the design process. Kind of like templates you can use to get ideas for your projects with designs (and the code to make those designs) that are sophisticated and that work!
