👋 Hi Devs,
Welcome to issue #65! 😅
Recently, I stumbled upon Tailwind CSS—and honestly,
my first thought was: “Great, another CSS framework on top of regular CSS.”
But while scrolling through Scrimba (my go-to platform for learning to code), I noticed they had a Tailwind CSS crash course that was only 2 hours long.
I told myself, “Let’s just give it 15 minutes.”
Fast forward—two hours later, not only had I completed the course and earn the certificate for that day,
but I was already recommending Tailwind CSS to every developer I knew.
This framework completely changed the way I think about styling in frontend development—faster, cleaner, and more intuitive than I expected.
OVERVIEW:

My recent three certifications that I did, planning to do more and sharing here
My first take on Tailwind CSS
How a 2-hour Scrimba course hooked me
Why I recommend Tailwind to devs
Prerequisites for learning Tailwind CSS:
I think these are must before starting out with the Tailwind
Basic HTML (especially Classes and Ids)
Basic CSS
The below I think can be optional but required later
Platform responsiveness
NodeJS should be pre-installed
Little knowledge about npm packages
My first take on Tailwind CSS

No separate styles CSS
The best thing that I liked about Tailwind is that you don’t have to make a separate styles file instead you can do all inside the HTML document
The reason it worked for me because I’m kind of person who likes everything inside one document and I can access everything through from there, Kind of like having one master file
Easy to learn
Tailwind is utility first framework that means It provides a vast collection of small, single-purpose utility classes (e.g., flex, pt-4, text-center, bg-blue-500
) that can be combined to style elements. This eliminates the need to write custom CSS for every element or component.
The other thing is this that Tailwind is straight forward just like kind of python, I know that CSS is kind of straightforward too but the thing that bug me with the CSS is that you have to write custom CSS for every element
Here we too have to write but it is kind of straight forward,
EXAMPLE:
<p class="text-green-600">
Hello harman
</p>
In the above code I can directly write within the declared class of the html tag <p> that I want the “Hello harman“ to be green color
Easy right?
I believe Time is everything in software engineering and Tailwind CSS saves a lot of time.
This was one of the thing that I liked about Tailwind when starting out and building projects as your portfolio for the projects
Tailwind Documentation
One of the highlights for me was the Tailwind documentation. It’s super easy to read, well-structured, and packed with examples.
Through it, I quickly learned:
Styling with utility classes
Using hover, focus, and other states
Building responsive designs
Honestly, the docs alone make the learning curve way smoother.

How a 2-hour Scrimba course hooked me
(First of all it is not SPONSORED by Scrimba)
I have to say—I love Scrimba because of its live, interactive video courses.
Why? Because before Scrimba, I was stuck in tutorial hell. You know the feeling—watching endless tutorials without actually building anything.
The great thing about Scrimba is that, just like all their other courses, this Tailwind CSS course jumps straight into the content. No fluff, just hands-on learning.
The course is split into two parts:
Building a blog site with Tailwind CSS
Practicing the concepts learned in the first part
Although it took me around 3.5 hours to finish (instead of the advertised 2 hours 😅), I found it to be an excellent way to learn Tailwind’s core concepts while actually building something useful.
Why I recommend Tailwind to devs
After using Tailwind CSS, I can confidently say it’s worth adding to your toolkit. Here’s why: (Quick bullet points)
Speed & Productivity → You spend less time writing custom CSS and more time actually building.
Utility-First Approach → Classes like
flex
,mt-4
, orbg-blue-500
make styling quick and consistent.No Context Switching → You style directly in your HTML, which keeps everything in one place.
Scales Well → From small projects to production apps, Tailwind helps keep your codebase clean and maintainable.
Great Docs & Community → The documentation is clear, and the dev community is super active with plugins, tips, and examples.
In short: Tailwind saves time, reduces frustration, and makes frontend development feel smooth.
I also started to complete the whole scrimba so i review that too
