Lumbar Lumbar is a js-build tool that takes a general codebase and list of platforms to generate modular platform specific applications. Introduction You can think of lumbar as a conditional compiler that targets platforms. However, it doesn’t rely on variables in your source code. There’s no #ifdef or #endifs. It allows you to define multiple routers in your code.It pulls in your mustache or handlebars templates.It pulls in your stylus styles and generates css files.It outputs standalone javascript and css files.It wraps your code in the correct scope (module pattern), or not. Lumbar works well with Backbone allowing for grouping of routers, models, views, and other application code into stand alone modular javascript and css files which can be lazy loaded when the route is encountered. Best of all, if what’s included out of the box doesn’t satisfy your needs, then you should be able to build a plugin relatively easily to support it.

CSS drop-shadows without images Drop-shadows are easy enough to create using pseudo-elements. It’s a nice and robust way to progressively enhance a design. This post is a summary of the technique and some of the possible appearances. Demo: CSS drop-shadows without images Known support: Firefox 3.5+, Chrome 5+, Safari 5+, Opera 10.6+, IE 9+ I’ll be looking mainly at a few details involved in making this effect more robust. After a bit of back-and-forth on Twitter with Simurai, and proposing a couple of additions to Divya’s and Matt’s demos using jsbin, I felt like documenting and explaining the parts that make up this technique. The basic technique There is no need for extra markup, the effect can be applied to a single element. The pseudo-elements need to be positioned and given explicit or implicit dimensions. The next step is to add a CSS3 box-shadow and apply CSS3 transforms. One of the pseudo-elements then needs to be positioned on the other side of the element and rotated in the opposite direction.
Useful HTML5 Frameworks, Template Generators and Tools Web designing needs consideration of a few facts before starting with a particular project. Clients will never allow you to take ample time to end up the project and you have to be efficient enough to run parallel with your clients. Uses of technical applications can ease the task which again takes in account the right choice of the designing medium. Using designing template is thus important to deliver a project at the stipulated time. HTML5 frameworks help to cut short the CSS step along with increasing the visibility of the site. Let me discuss in brief why it is inevitable to use frameworks while working with HTML5. Few of the HTML5 frameworks, template generators and tools provide option to include the template in your preferable place including JavaScript, server configurations, Google analytics and also jQuery. The sites that incorporate HTML5 and CSS3 should be grateful to these magical framework. Initializr Modernizr 52framework HTML5 Boilerplate reformed Form Builder Sencha LimeJS
The Top 8 Placeholder Services for Web Designers In the last year, there's been a wave of helpful placeholder services. What's a placeholder? Well, when you're working on a new website, isn't it a waste of time to use stock images, cropped to the right dimensions? A placeholder service allows you to automatically use a random image at the desired dimensions with minimal effort. In the last week, I've compiled a list - in no particular order - of what I consider to be the most useful and flexible placeholder services on the web. Certainly, for most of you, you'll end up picking one or two of the following to use in your own projects. 1 - PlaceKitten A quick and simple service for getting pictures of kittens for use as placeholders in your designs or code. Usage Follow the placekitten.com url with your desired dimensions. 2 - Placehold.it A quick and simple image placeholder service. Note that, with this service, you set your dimensions more traditionally, rather than separating the widths and heights into segments. 3 - SheenHolders Conclusion
