CSS :first-of-type Pseudo Class
The CSS:first-of-type pseudo-class selects an element that is the first element of its type in the list of children of its parent. It is the same as:nth-of-type.
The:first-of-type selector is actually similar to nth-child but there is a difference: it is less specific. The:first-of-type selector targets a specific type of an element in the arrangement only with relation to similar siblings.
Beginning with Selectors Level 4 it is not required from the selected element to have a parent.
