By eidias on (tags: css, categories: tools, web)I thought it’s about time to pick a ‘favorite’ css grid (not framework nor boilerplate).

I’m sure there’s much more to it than what I will describe here, but there’s one aspect I’d like to focus on: view switching.
By eidias on (tags: javascript, sammy, categories: tools, web)There’s been a lot of fuss about coffee script in the last few months. It’s a language that compiles into pure javascript. Some people like it, some don’t. So what’s it all about?
