Description:
How do you scale CSS for millions of visitors or thousands of pages? What happens to the size of your CSS file as more pages and modules are added? The answer, for most sites, is that it grows out of control and becomes an unmaintainable tangle of spaghetti code. Perhaps more importantly, our sites are too brittle and require guru-level abilities to make even simple changes.
CSS is a powerful, beautiful, and expressive language, but deeply misunderstood and often poorly written. Now is exactly the right moment for it to get a dose of software engineering best practices. Object Oriented CSS allows you to write fast, maintainable, standards-based front-end code. It adds much needed predictability to CSS so that even beginners can create beautiful websites. OOCSS is not a framework or a tool (though in this session Nicole will demo both), it is a better, saner way to write and maintain style sheets.
In this session, Nicole will demonstrate how to build templates, grids, modules, and other objects. After attending, you will be able to:
- Apply programming best practices to style sheets
- Extend CSS objects to create unique skins
- Calculate complexity, use mixins, and avoid singletons (yup, all CSS)
- Model design patterns in UML
- Take advantage of the cascade (rather than letting it take advantage of you!)

Great session, very interesting. But I cannot agree with thing like the <h2 class="h2"> stuff. The advise to not use id's is very strange to me as well.
For a newbie in the webdevelopment-world this can be a very good start though.

Not like many fashion makes available that seem to devalue within value soon after that it is put on, the actual vintage louis vuitton seem to be more widely used your more mature and less available the piece. louis vuitton can also be one of many experts of the debilitating value improve, through growing it is luggage every single season up to $500USD to get a simple tote.?If you were deliberating whether or not to get a louis vuitton bag just do it, it simply climbs up inside price every year!<br> Many of us in addition believe that are generally heirlooms in the future, which is precisely why we all brand our own company right after the idea! We view a 20-30% enhance of value every year associated with VINTAGE louis vuitton luggage, particularly the elderly the actual 1980-96 items, these are becoming more challenging to discover, and particularly the actual Position An ailment parts, the particular investment is getting really limited for this reason generating the costs and also need, that leads us for you to.
I liked your structural approach of CSS, though I cannot say yet I agree with al your thoughts; first I'll have to take a closer look at your framework. Some of your ideas like the "h6, .h6 {}" were interesting and new to me and deserve further investigation.
