An Introduction to Object Oriented CSS
Ranjith KumarWith richer interactions and media heavy pages mushrooming on the web, creating web pages, which load faster and respond well has become a challenge. Separating the content, presentation and behavior of a page using HTML, CSS and JS, is not the only thing that front-end engineers have to concentrate on nowadays. The limelight is now on the performance of the pages, cleanliness and leanness of the code within, scalability and reusability of CSS, and the semantic correctness of the markup. There are a handful of frameworks, techniques and approaches that are built towards this goal of maintainability, scalability and reusability of CSS. Each of them is having its own pros and cons. But, this is not a stage to elaborate on all of them. This article is an introduction to implementing the concept of ‘Object Oriented Programming’ in building CSS for high scale websites and applications, with an eye on maintainability and reusability.
Pros And Cons Of Using Frameworks
Ruben D'OliveiraSometimes you should ask yourself, why you need to do the same thing everyday when there's a new bridge to shorten the path. Think of a framework as a bridge that will help you code faster and easier. Did you notice I didn't include the word "better" in the last sentence? Faster and easier doesn't always mean better, but we will get to that later. First things first, so what is a framework really? It actually depends on the context it is used. It can be defined as an abstraction tool that makes it easier to develop applications and reuse code. "The framework aims to alleviate the overhead associated with common activities performed in Web development... and they often promote code reuse." Like everything else, when it comes to its use, a framework has advantages and downsides. Below is a list of some important facts you should consider, before you decide to start learning or using one.

Rochester OliveiraI hope you have heard a little about CSS3 and HTML5. And I'm sure you've used at least one of the cool features they offer. But now it is time to use them at their full (or almost full) power. You may be asking yourself "It is time to change? Should I forget everything I know and dive into this new world?". Well dear padawan, you don't need to do so. We have a lot of tools that make our transition to new and better technologies safer (ultimately we can't just crash our customer's website, we have bills to pay :D). Frameworks are helpful with this. They've already been tried, tested and proven. Of course, you can always make them better, but they are a really good starting point. This time we will talk a little about frameworks and other tools, like generators and templates. So, let's rock.

Creating A Custom HTML and CSS Framework for Rapid Development
Kevin StanleyIn this article I will go over creating a custom framework to have and use for your own projects. This to me has been one of the best resources to me in creating websites for clients. I found just like everyone else that after doing so many web pages you hit the point of realizing you keep typing the same things over and over. To try and cut down on some of the time it was taking me just to get started on a project I decided to make my own "framework" that I would use as a basic starting point. I have found this to be a great way to carry around my framework with me anywhere I go on my USB memory stick, and to be able to start a project much faster than I normally would have. Since most of my programming is done with just a basic text editor, this has worked out really well for me.
