An introduction to utility class and component based styling, and how to soar with Tailwind CSS.

Things we’ll cover:

- Advantages and disadvantages to utility based styling and Tailwind.
- 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:

- How to extend Tailwind and add extra classes with community written plugins.
- How to write and test your own custom plugins.
