Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework where you style elements by adding class names like `flex`, `p-4`, and `text-gray-800` directly in your HTML. This course teaches Tailwind from scratch: the utility system, responsive design, dark mode, and building real UI components without writing a single custom CSS file.
