3 - The fundamentals

SPECIALITY - HTML & CSS - Tooling/Tailwind (12 - 16h.)

Description

Front-end or UI frameworks are sets of tools that help you kick start the development of a website by offering reusable code that you would need to create otherwise, such as typography settings, grid system and modals. Tailwind is one of the newest frameworks around and it is very wide spread. Learning how it works can do a few things:
  • Teach you a new useful tool to create projects
  • Give you the knowledge to understand a lot of projects that you will definitely find around
  • Teach you how to learn a front-end framework, which you likely need to do several times in your career
That could be probably said about many other front-end frameworks, which is why this Guide gives you the option of exploring another framework of your choice.
