Introduction to Tailwind CSS

What is Tailwind CSS?

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first CSS framework used to design modern webpages quickly.

Instead of writing separate CSS code, Tailwind provides ready-made utility classes that can be directly used inside HTML elements.

Tailwind helps developers:

build UI faster
create responsive layouts
maintain consistent design

Why Tailwind CSS?

Traditional CSS requires writing separate styles.

Example: CSS

.button {
  background-color: blue;
  color: white;
}

In Tailwind CSS, the same styling can be written directly inside HTML:

<button class="bg-blue-500 text-white">
  Click Me
</button>

This reduces the need for writing custom CSS repeatedly.

Using Tailwind CSS with CDN

For beginners, Tailwind can be used directly using CDN.

<script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>

This loads Tailwind CSS without installation.

Example Program

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Tailwind Introduction</title>

  <!-- Tailwind CSS CDN -->
  <script src="https://cdn.tailwindcss.com"></script>
</head>

<body class="bg-gray-100 p-6">

  <h1 class="text-3xl font-bold text-blue-600 mb-4">
    Welcome to Tailwind CSS
  </h1>

  <p class="text-gray-700 mb-4">
    Tailwind CSS helps build modern user interfaces quickly.
  </p>

  <button class="bg-blue-500 text-white px-4 py-2 rounded-lg">
    Click Me
  </button>

</body>
</html>
