• How to install Tailwind and add it to your build process using tools such as Symfony Encore and Laravel Mix.
• How to configure and customise Tailwind for your project.
• How to promote repeating classes into re-usable components for better maintainability.
• Strategies to control the file size, and using external tools like PurgeCSS.

Also, if time allows:
