I’ve just pushed some major changes to my front end development guidelines to the public site. I spent a lot of time on this update, and it shows. I’ve added new content and improved old. I’ve ditched my own slap-dash styling in favour of the Twitter Bootstrap with some of my own personal tweaks. Be sure to check it out.
I’ve added some sections on:
- The importance of understanding the box model (CSS)
- Knowing when to float, and when to position (CSS)
- Generating unique IDs without timestamps (JS)
- Preserving middle mouse click functionality (UX)
I also:
- Made the website work without JavaScript enabled
- Cleaned up the overall design and interaction (Bootstrapped!)
- Re-wrote some content here and there
- Added pretty graphics to explanations
- Added some resources to the list
Basically, we’ve gone from this:
