Adapt JS Explained. This explains the origins of, and how to use, Adapt.js – (skip to How to use) First Off Let me say specifically that Adapt.js does not purport to be Responsive Web Design. The definition of RWD, as Ethan Marcotte initially described it, specifically involves using both: fluid widths and @media queries.

It's backend agnostic and works well with any of the modern JavaScript libraries you're already using. Backbone is a collection of cohesive objects, weighing in at a shade under 4kb, that lend structure to your code and basically helps you build a proper MVC app in the browser.

I love HTML5 Boilerplate and use it a lot as a basis for web projects. Sometimes however, I find it still does a little bit too much for my needs and I end up removing a lot before I can get started.
Most importantly for me though, it still currently doesn’t support building with Google Closure Compiler which I tend to use both for it’s advanced code optimisations and for coding better Object-Oriented JavaScript (not to mention generating JavaScript documentation from the very same comments I write for the compiler).
