## [SydCSS: “Utility-First CSS: What’s All The Rage?”](/content/talks/sydcss-utility-first/index.html)

## [React-Music: My Talk at the React Sydney Meetup](/content/talks/react-music-at-react-sydney/index.html)

Last Monday, I took a leap of faith and made my first public speaking appearance at a Sydney tech meetup. The event in questions was [React Sydney](https://www.meetup.com/React-Sydney), a monthly event where tickets go like hot cakes and waiting lists get notoriously long.

I've teamed up with [Kent C. Dodds](https://twitter.com/kentcdodds) to teach Tailwind CSS (and more) as a partner instructor on the [Epic Web](https://www.epicweb.dev/workshops/pixel-perfect-figma-to-tailwind) platform!

[Pro Tailwind](https://protailwind.com/) is an advanced-level course on Tailwind CSS, like multi-theme and multi-style component strategies. [Sign up today!](https://protailwind.com/)
