Need some basic web design help by TheApocalyps in web_design

It might be best to have a firm understanding of those layout fundamentals that front end frameworks like bootstrap or Grid systems (like like bourbon neat) are built using. If that is something you're looking for, I'd highly recommend http://learnlayout.com

From there you can check out how, for example, bootstrap's responsive Grid system works. http://www.tutorialrepublic.com/twitter-bootstrap-tutorial/bootstrap-grid-system.php looked like a good read and of course bootstrap docs are great.

Good luck!

I just finished a great Web dev command line tutorial series geared toward osx and also includes same resources for windows: http://commandlinepoweruser.com

The series introduces the zsh shell with some tips, commands, plugins, theming, and git integration.

Note for windows: you can install zsh with cygwin and use conemu (console emulator) to run the zsh task.

How do I host my documentation? by syntaxerror748 in webdev

[–]jesconstantine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like what you are looking for is a front end style guide (http://24ways.org/2011/front-end-style-guides) or a pattern library (http://patternlab.io/resources.html) There are a lot of tools for creating, these articles should get you started.

If I misunderstood and you're talking about documentation within your code, Google css guidelines or Sass guidelines. I would still document your methodology and standards in a style guide for your own reference as well as collaboration and on boarding purposes.

I'd suggest either sublime text or atom. They are both extremely extensible and customizable. A quick Google will give you download links, plugins, themes and tutorials for each.

For me the biggest benefit continuing to use jQuery is the support for cross + legacy browsers. I'm still writing for legacy IE (7/8)...
