Get a rapid introduction to Tailwind, the utility-first CSS framework, and start building sites with it today!

For many years, component-based frameworks, like Bootstrap, were the de facto standard for building websites quickly and easily. But all this magic comes with a price. Without serious customization, sites built with such frameworks look similar to each other. And customization is a real pain in the neck for anyone who wants to build something more complex or creative. Component-based styles are easy to implement, but inflexible and confined to certain boundaries. Solving specificity issues while trying to override the default styles of a particular framework isn't a fun and productive job. Tailwind is a utility-first framework that is built with low-level functionality in mind. As you'll see in this book, utility classes offer much more power and flexibility than component classes.

Tailwind is a set of low-level, reusable utility classes that can be used like building blocks to create virtually any design we can imagine. This utility-first framework covers the most important CSS properties, but it can be easily extended in a variety of ways. It can be used either for rapid prototyping or for creating full-blown designs. Tailwind has great documentation, covering every class utility in detail and showing the ways it can be customized. There’s also a playground where you can try out your ideas. You can also check out Tailwind’s screencasts if you prefer to learn by watching.

You'll learn:
• Component vs utility classes, and the pros and cons of each
• Tailwind basics (layout, typography, responsive web design, colors, and more)
• Creating your own Tailwind components
• Building complex and flexible layouts with Tailwind's Grid utilities
• Customizing Tailwind
• Working with Tailwind plugins
• And much more!
