About this course
Tailwind CSS is the most popular way to style modern web applications. Instead of writing CSS in a separate file, you apply small, single-purpose classes directly in your HTML, and your UI comes together fast.
What you'll learn
- How Tailwind's utility-first approach works and why developers love it
- Typography: font size, weight, color, alignment, and letter case
- The Tailwind color system: targets, families, and shade scales
- Spacing and sizing: padding, margin, width, and height
- Borders, rounded corners, and images
- Flexbox layouts: alignment, direction, gap, wrap, and a real navbar project
Prerequisites
- Basic HTML knowledge is all you need
