Rapid Prototyping For Any Device With Foundation - Smashing Coding Advertisement This article is the second piece in our new series introducing new, useful and freely available tools and techniques presented and released by active members of the Web design community (the first article covered PrefixFree, a new tool be Lea Verou). ZURB are well-known for their wireframing and prototyping tools and in this post they present their recent tool, Foundation, a framework to help you build prototypes and production code that’s truly responsive. You’ve probably already heard about responsive design, which is website design that responds to the device constraints of the person viewing it. It’s a hot topic right now, and with good reason: alternative devices outsell desktop PCs 4 to 1 already, and within three years more Internet traffic in the US will go through mobile devices than through laptops or desktops. The Problem with Global CSS The bigger problem was that it wasn’t designed to be responsive or mobile-friendly in any way. So, How Does Foundation Work? (al)

Blog Archive » Visual Semantics in HTML and CSS The web stack (simplified) between you and your users On the last day of TXJS, a developer asked me: Doesn’t Object Oriented CSS leave you with a pile of presentation based class names? Each layer in the web stack has its own architecture. Visual semantics describe all the repeating patterns in the design of the page. Separating Template Architecture From Styles Similarly, many PHP developers are tempted to match the CSS and HTML architecture to the PHP. Shoehorning CSS and HTML into PHP abstractions prevents the code from being DRY and ultimately leads to code bloat, because, the CSS and HTML require a far more granular object structure than the PHP. Visual Semantics ! It is important to note that I’m not suggesting class names like “giantBlueHeading.” The media block may be used in many different contexts, for example, to join an icon and a link or a profile picture and user name. The code for the media block, and many other base objects are available on the OOCSS open source project.
CSS3 Flexible Box Layout Explained - Smashing Coding Advertisement The flexible box layout module — or “flexbox,” to use its popular nickname — is an interesting part of the W3C Working Draft. The flexbox specification is still a draft and subject to change, so keep your eyes on the W3C, but it is part of a new arsenal of properties that will revolutionize how we lay out pages. In the meantime, we can experiment with flexbox and even use it on production websites where fallbacks will still render the page correctly. The Display Property So what is flexbox, and why was it created? Until last year, most of us were using tables to lay out our pages. The CSS box model allowed us to tell the browser how to display a piece of content, and in particular how to display it as a box. For those of us testing our websites back to IE6, we had to grapple with hasLayout and triggering it with the following or some similar fix: The box model worked, and in most cases it worked well. Percentage + Padding + Border = Trouble Many Problems, Many Solutions Ouch!

Atomic CSS Blog Archive » The media object saves hundreds of lines of code What is the internet made of? At least the UI layer is mainly composed of media blocks. I talked about the Facebook stream story before, and all the tiny objects of which it is composed. For the most part, the stream story is made up of the media object repeated over and over. The media object is an image to the left, with descriptive content to the right, like this Facebook story: The media object The content area on the right can contain any other objects. Variations on the media object Sometimes the image is a tiny icon, a large video, or an avatar, but it is the same basic object. what do we know? Can be nested Optional right button Must clearfix What have we decided *not* to know? It is equally important to define what is flexible, or unknown, about a new object. Image width, margins, and decoration vary Right content is unknown Width unknown

Webentrepreneur débutant, qu'est ce que c'est ? Etre un webentrepreneur, c’est quoi ? Dans Webentrepreneur, un mot sortis du chapeau, il y a entrepreneur, et ça, c’est quoi ? Entrepreneur, c’est savoir faire des choix, savoir s’entourer, pour durer et non pour faire un coup et disparaitre. Voilà qu’internet serait donc un nouvel Eldorado, une nouvelle ruée vers l’or. S’il suffisait d’aimer… En dépit de votre volonté à croire que tout est facile, qu’il suffit d’une formation pour vous ouvrir les chemins d’un compte en banque grassement garnis, la réalité est plus cruelle. Apprendre à aimer Il est donc impératif de savoir qu’entreprendre, ce n’est pas ça, que cela soit sur le net, en tant que webentrepreneur ou en dehors. Bien que l’installation d’un WordPress puisse se faire en quelques minutes, vous vautrer prendra encore moins de temps ! Ainsi, lorsque j’ai fait mes premiers pas dans le monde de l’entreprenariat, je suis passé par une couveuse d’entreprise. La confusion règne Donc, le trait commun, c’est la confusion.
