Getting Started with Tailwind CSS

# Getting Started with Tailwind CSS

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework that has changed how many developers approach styling. Here's why you should give it a try.

Utility-First Philosophy

Instead of writing custom CSS, you compose designs using utility classes. This might feel strange at first, but it becomes incredibly productive.

Customization

Tailwind is highly customizable through its configuration file. You can define your own colors, spacing, breakpoints, and more.

Performance

With proper configuration, Tailwind only includes the CSS you actually use. This results in tiny production bundles.

Developer Experience

The framework includes excellent tooling, documentation, and IDE integration. The Tailwind CSS IntelliSense extension is a game-changer.

Once you get comfortable with the utility-first approach, you'll find yourself building interfaces faster than ever.
