CSS Systems for writing maintainable CSS. Nat has published the slides and notes from her BarCamp presentation this morning. I’m really excited about her approach, which involves designing a “CSS system” of markup patterns and CSS that embodies the design of an individual site. Future maintenance can then take this overall system in to account, which is assisted by a defined ordering system and shared vocabulary. # 28th September 2008, 11:30 pm
Why “variables” in CSS are harmful. Bert Bos thinks constants or macros in CSS will make it harder to learn. I personally think that the problem with CSS isn’t the learning curve, it’s how difficult it is to maintain later—and I see macros as a great way of reducing that maintainability burden. # 6th August 2008, 12:13 am
