Css vs Tailwind

What is the main difference between CSS and Tailwind CSS?

When I started learning CSS, I used to wonder how hard it would be to build a full website. In my first project, I used pure CSS and ended up writing around 600 lines of code just to style the frontend. It was a good learning experience, but quite time-consuming.

But now that I’ve learned Tailwind CSS, I realize how easy and efficient it can be to build websites.

🔍 Example:

Let’s say you want to create a box and give it a background color.

• In traditional CSS:

  • You have to create a separate CSS file (or use a <style> tag or inline styles, which is not clean).
  • Then you write something like:

  <div class="box"></div>
  

```css
.box {
  background-color: blue;
}
```

• In Tailwind CSS:

  • You can do it directly in the HTML:

  <div class="bg-blue-500"></div>
  

You don’t need a separate CSS file — just include the Tailwind CSS CDN or set it up in your project, and you’re good to go.
