Frontend Development Course: Svelte & TailwindCSS

This summer, I taught a course on Frontend Development using Svelte and TailwindCSS. The course was different from traditional courses—we focused on 3 practical projects instead of long theoretical lessons!

Why Svelte & TailwindCSS?

Why Svelte and not React?

I chose Svelte for several reasons:

  1. Easy to Learn - The code is simpler and clearer for beginners
  2. Better Performance - Svelte compiles code to plain JavaScript at build time
  3. Built-in Reactivity - Reactivity is naturally integrated

Why TailwindCSS?

  1. Development Speed - No need to write custom CSS for each element
  2. Design Consistency - Ready-made design system
  3. Easy Responsive Design - Easily responsive design

Practical Projects

We built 3 progressive projects:

Project 1: Todo List App

A simple task management app. Participants learned Components, State Management, Event Handling, and more.

Project 2: Weather App

Weather app using an external API. Participants learned API Calls, Async/Await, Loading States, and Error Handling.

Project 3: E-commerce Product Page

A complete product page. Participants learned Component Communication, Stores, Transitions & Animations.

Results and Participation

Statistics

  • 👥 50+ participants registered for the course
  • 35+ projects were submitted
  • 4.8/5 average rating
  • 📱 100% of projects were responsive

Conclusion

Svelte and TailwindCSS are a powerful combo for beginners:

  • Svelte is easy to understand
  • Tailwind is quick to apply
  • Together they produce beautiful and fast applications
