One of the biggest problems with using raw CSS is that it is time-consuming. It is true that we can implement everything in the most accurate way possible, but what if we are in a hurry and want to implement the features we want in a faster time? In this case you need a framework. But can any framework work for you? No! There are many frameworks that help us use CSS, and each one has its advantages and disadvantages. One of the biggest drawbacks of most frameworks is their lack of speed in implementation. To solve this problem, we have to work with each of these frameworks and finally, after a few months, find out which one is better than the other! Well, it's time-consuming and tedious. But fortunately there is a Rocket training website, we can give you this guide. Simply put: the fastest and most accurate framework with which you can implement layering of your website elements is Tailwind CSS. A novice framework but with very attractive features.

In this tutorial on the Rocket website, we want to introduce you to this great framework and use it in the process of a one-page project. It will certainly be an exciting period. But before that, let's get a little familiar with this framework and its capabilities.

What is Tailwind CSS?

Tailwind CSS is a utility-first idea-based framework that has gained a lot of popularity and popularity in a short period of time. Enabling people to develop quickly to design and develop user interfaces has become one of the reasons for this growing popularity.

Tailwind is a CSS framework that was first released in 2019. Currently, (2021) version 2.2 of this framework has been released and according to statistics provided by Tailwind CSS itself, more than 260,000 developers are using this framework. Reaching such a point in less than two years is very important and significant. One of the main reasons for this is the many features that the framework provides and makes it ideal for various projects.

One of the main differences between Tailwind CSS and other frameworks is giving them complete control over the elements and preventing duplicate styles. Now that we are somewhat familiar with this framework, let's get acquainted with the main advantages and disadvantages of this framework.

1- Control over styling the elements

When it comes to how to style elements, I have to say that Tailwind gives us a unique approach. Tailwind does not have a default style for elements and is not similar to Bootstrap or other frameworks. For this reason you can have complete control over the appearance of the elements.

For example, you can use a different look for each project so Tailwind does not impose its own styles.

2- Faster styling process

When it comes to styling HTML elements, no framework can do it quickly for you. The result is your fast output from HTML elements. Tailwind uses hundreds of built-in stylesheets, all you have to do is apply them to the class property of HTML elements.

3-Responsiveness and high security at runtime

All elements and styles related to Tailwind are provided to you in a responsive way, which is why this framework has a high degree of responsiveness and being Mobile-First.

In terms of security, I must say that Tailwind has fewer problems than competitors at runtime and no weird styles will be applied.

4. Additional features

Tailwind is considered as a framework that runs in the front-end section of websites. For this reason, developers should have maximum expectations from this framework. Tailwind will live up to these expectations as well, as the developers of this framework have worked with other frameworks before them and know what problems they have created for developers and how they have now addressed them. In Tailwind, you can easily use PurgeCSS to remove classes that were not used in your project and reduce the load on your website.

Weaknesses of Tailwind CSS

1. Lack of important components

If you have worked with frameworks such as Bootstrap and Foundation, you know that there are a number of ready-made components in these frameworks that are easy to use. But there is no such thing in Tailwind. For example, you can not find the ready menu component or Navbar in the documentation of this framework. Apart from menus, there are many other components that need to be implemented manually. But the good news is that in this course we are going to look at ways to create these components and teach them to you. One of the reasons that such components are not present in Tailwind is its small size and therefore speed at runtime.

2. Documentation

One of Tailwind's biggest current problems is the poor documentation. This is so noticeable in comparison to other CSS frameworks that you can not get well acquainted with this framework through documentation, and you definitely need a training course that is exactly what you need.
