Utility First

Every now and then a new idea comes along and changes the way we work on the Web. Tailwind CSS is one of those game changers.

Hey there, I'm Ray Villalobos, Senior Staff Instructor at LinkedIn.

Tailwind CSS takes a new approach to building projects called the Utility first approach, which means that you can create an entire site that looks unique without writing a single line of CSS.
