Course Overview

This course examines and explains industry best practices to design web pages using Tailwind CSS. We’ll start with the typography of individual elements, and then we’ll get to “the box”—the rectangle of space each element takes up on a web page and how to manipulate it. Once we have our elements in boxes, we’ll take a look at the page layout using flexbox and grids.
