Our Verdict
Tailwind CSS From Scratch | Learn By Building Projects is a valuable resource for learning Tailwind CSS and incorporating it into your workflow. The course offers a deep dive into utility classes while configuring custom layouts, but misses the opportunity to incorporate exercise projects that challenge learners to style independently before reviewing Brad Traversy's approach. Additionally, the verbatim implementation in some projects can leave students yearning for more refined design thinking insight and mobile-first consistency from the instructor.
What We Liked
- The course covers a wide range of Tailwind CSS utility classes through building projects.
- In-depth explanations of configuring styles for custom layouts are provided.
- Brad Traversy's teaching style is clear, making it easy to follow along.
- Real-world application projects help reinforce learning.
Potential Drawbacks
- Project implementation can seem rushed with limited explanation of design thinking behind the code.
- Lack of exercise projects where students are tasked to style a specific part of a project.
- The course could benefit from more explanation on designing layouts before applying Tailwind classes.
- Mobile-first approach not consistently applied throughout the course leading to confusion.
