Yea Its a cool exercise into what can be done. But ultimately not a road that I personally would like to travel..


Im confused what limitations are you refering to? anything that you can't do with jQuery you can still do with straight java script. Just cause you use the framework does not me you are shackled to it. As for the using tables.. these two things are fundamentally different one has a place and is horribly misused when used for layout. The other is a framework that adds a wealth of functionality and additional functionality via plugins.


While I agree with the author in his previous posts in this series. anyone coming up into web development or front-end design should first grasp javascript and then learn how to use frameworks like jQuery. However I think that what these frameworks offer is faster prototyping and easier maintenance of web applications. Quickly accessing the api for functionality is often essential in quick turn around where creating all the functionality each time would add more time to a project. But as with all things in life we should be mindful of each and everything we load and pick and choose carefully.


As member of my local makerspace there is never a shortage of people coming through with their snake oil perpetual motion machines.... And they all sound like this guy.


Agreed... This is a terrible precedent that only show everyone in the world how easily we fall back on our principles and values.

I think that Judd Apatow and Jimmy Kimmel said it best on twitter..

"I think it is disgraceful that these theaters are not showing The Interview. Will they pull any movie that gets an anonymous threat now?" - Judd Apatow

" @JuddApatow I agree wholeheartedly. An un-American act of cowardice that validates terrorist actions and sets a terrifying precedent." - Jimmy Kimmel

I can't believe that it has taken this long. Didn't Foundation drop IE Support like 2 versions ago?


Yes, dropped for v.4. Both are good frameworks and these new versions look great, but considering I prefer SASS to LESS I don't think I'll be switching back to Bootstrap any time soon.


Bootstrap has an officially supported SASS version.


Ah, been a while, good to know, thanks.


I am not sure. But they are dropping IE8 support so they can start using rems.


Maybe they are afraid of compromising or losing unethical connection that they may be nurturing with some of these companies.


All that money in dues and all they offer is a bad implementation of wordpress and buddypress.


Please no... Samsung needs to stick behind Android, and stop trying to be a singular ecosystem like Apple.
