These kinds of courses give you the helping hand to start discovering AWS. In my case, I'm even inspired to start getting a certification. So, I recommend it for anyone having doubts or an overwhelming feeling about AWS. This will light your path and give you the push you need!

Most of the content covered in this course was already familiar to me, but I still found several new tips, shortcuts, and workflow enhancements that were genuinely valuable. Steve Kinney explains everything clearly and keeps the sessions engaging. The course served as a great refresher and introduced a few thoughtful ways to improve my productivity in VS Code. Thank you to Frontend Masters and Steve Kinney for putting together this well-structured and informative course.

Recently completed the Tailwind CSS course on Frontend Masters taught by Steve Kinney!

Love the utility-first approach for rapid development and keeping styles consistent. Big thanks to Steve Kinney for the awesome breakdown!

Here's what I loved most:

Utility Classes: Building UIs with pre-defined classes for margins, padding, and typography feels great. No more jumping between files and hunting down conflicting CSS issues.

Boosting Efficiency: Tailwind lets you focus on layout and component styling, freeing you from writing tons of CSS.

Customization Power: Don't get fooled by the utility-first approach. You can still create custom classes and components for a unique design.

Overall, Tailwind CSS is seriously streamlining my development process. It's a fantastic tool for building modern, responsive websites quickly.
