Phoenix 1.7.0 + Tailwind interfaces and courses?

Background

I am trying to recycle myself and improve my knowledge about Phoenix. With 1.7 now out, this seems like a good opportunity.

What I am looking for

I understand Phoenix now comes with Tailwind included, so I was wondering if someone could help me with a couple of things:

  • Courses on Phoenix 1.7.0 using Tailwind
  • Designs and for Login Pages and menus using Tailwind inside of Phoenix

I am not really that strong in this space, so I was hoping someone could provide samples or courses that I could explore.

I understand that https://online.pragmaticstudio.com has 1 course, but I am not sure if it covers 1.7 with tailwind. I also could not find a sample Login Design there (although the course is very extensive).

Could you folks share something here?

The course is more about Phoenix and Liveview. Tailwind is used, but not for learning about design.

Yes, I agree. Tailwind is more of a thing “Thats there” and its not really explored.
Don’t take me wrong, the course (the free part I did anyway) is really amazing and they give you a ton of samples. It is a good quality course. But I find myself needing a bit of Tailwind education and how to proper use it withing a Phoenix app.

Do you know of a course that is more design oriented with Tailwind for this case?
I am open to investing some money, if the course requires it.

I’m in similar position when it comes to CSS and Tailwind. I didn’t have much time, but I scanned a little through this book: Modern CSS with Tailwind, Second Edition: Flexible Styling Without the Fuss by Noel Rappin and it looks good. Also from what I saw there is (was?) even a book club on this forum where people go trough it together.

Not at all, I was just commenting about the course… I took it and it’s really nice. As always with the authors :slight_smile:

But tailwind is not mentioned for learning purpose, just to make nicer UI.

I miss components with Tailwind alone… I would start by adding DaisyUI, then see how I can customize more. It’s on my experiment list, but some have done it already.
