Templating with LESS and Bootstrap from Twitter
Today I gave a presentation about templating with LESS - The dynamic stylesheet language and Bootstrap from Twitter at the JoomlaDays in The Netherlands.
As promised, a list of all the resources I used during my presentation:
If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.
Gmail’s new look, only one thing missing
Last week Google announced a preview of Gmail’s new look. Only one thing missing for me: CSS3 Flexible Box Model (aka Flexbox) power for people not using a browser from the Stone Age.
People who attended my presentation together with Stian Didriksen about How to Build Native Web Apps with HTML5 & CSS3 at J and Beyond on friday 6 May 2011 will probably already know about my preference for the amazing power of Flexbox. Since J! and Beyond we also added Flexbox power to Nooku Server Alpha3.
Last weekend I started a new little weekend project with a simple goal: add Flexbox power to Gmail’s new look as proof-of-concept. On sunday evening I finished the first version of a Flexbox powered Gmail.
A little feature list:
- Flexbox for the layout (no CSS float properties used);
- Rounded corners, gradients, shadows using CSS3 (no images used);
- Custom scrollbars for Webkit powered browsers
- LESS: The Dynamic Stylesheet language
Make sure to check the demo for a sneak peek or source code on GitHub.
Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

You have to chase and embrace innovation to stay in the game, not demand that it comes over to shine your shoes.
