Modern CSS with Tailwind: Chapter 1 (Installation)

Chapter 1 makes it hard even to begin if one doesn’t have front end tooling experience. I am a back end developer trying to understand little bit of front end which can make things simpler but found it hard to go beyond installation. In the beginning of the book there should be an effort on coming up with something running within 5-10 minutes of reading the first chapter for all categories of readers especially beginners. Seems like if I don’t know Rails, the book would be of limited help.

You don’t need the Rails app to see the examples, you can stand up a create-react-app using the alternate version of the sample app distributed with the beta 2.
