 Theming and Styling with UI Fabric. In this section, we will illustrate how to utilize some of the built-in theming and styling features right inside UI Fabric component library. UI Fabric exposes its own css-in-js library called `mergeStyles` that is very performant compared with other similar libraries.
 
+A CodePen that illustrates what `mergeStyles` does: https://codepen.io/dzearing/pen/jGdgrE?editors=1011
+
+There are three areas that we should focus on in this step:
+
+1. Theming with Fabric
+2. CSS-in-JS with mergeStyles
+3. Customizing Fabric Components `styles` prop
+
+## 1. Theming with Fabric
+
+- Fabric applies themes by propagating the theme down the children through the React Context mechanism
+- It is applied with the `<Customizer>` component
+- There are some predefined themes within Fabric already, like Fluent (which will become the default in the next major), MDL2, Azure, and some other sample themes like Teams.
+- Take a look at `demo/src/components/TodoApp.tsx`
+
+## 2. CSS-in-JS with mergeStyles
+
+- `mergeStyles` is a styling library that creates CSS class from styles that are expressed in JS
+- These classes can be passed into `className` prop of any component like `<div>`
+- This library replaces the need to import CSS stylesheets because they are bundled as normal JS code
+- Take a look at `demo/src/components/TodoApp.tsx`
+
+## 3. Customizing Fabric Controls
+
+- calling `mergeStyles` is time consuming and very static
+- Fabric components expose a `styles` prop (not to be confused with the React built-in one called `style`)
+- You can use intellisense to discover which parts of the component you can to customize
+- You can even use a style function to change the style based on some style prop
+- Take a look at these customizations in `demo/src/components/TodoHeader.tsx`
