Update: I’ve updated the template to 1.0.1 to fix an issue that all screens will be using the same content. Have to blame myself for the lazy duplication. At the same time, Wireframe Screen Flow Template using Nexus 4 is also available now. Inspired by a question from the group member within a private G+ community – Android Designers, I decided to spend some time to create a Wireframe Screen Flow Template for Adobe Photoshop that can help Android Developers/Designers to create a complete screen flow for wireframes or mockups. Below is the preview of the template that I have made: What’s inside

Responsive Tables with CSS/JS - Foundation 3 - ZURB Playground - ZURB.com
Why We Built This When we looked around at the various implementations of responsive tables on the web, we saw lots of interesting ideas but nothing we thought was a really great implementation. Chris Coyier on css-tricks.net did a great round up of responsive data tables and while there's some fascinating ideas in there, nothing seemed to meet the criteria we had for a great implementation: Doesn't break responsive layouts Doesn't unnecessarily hide data Still lets you compare rows With those existing tricks in mind, we set out to develop this, a CSS/JS combo that takes existing tables and modifies them for small devices so they meet our criteria. It works by taking the first column and "pinning" it to the left of the table, allowing you to scroll the other columns under it.

NoSQL Data Modeling Techniques « Highly Scalable Blog
NoSQL databases are often compared by various non-functional criteria, such as scalability, performance, and consistency. This aspect of NoSQL is well-studied both in practice and theory because specific non-functional properties are often the main justification for NoSQL usage and fundamental results on distributed systems like the CAP theorem apply well to NoSQL systems.

Off Canvas Layouts CSS - Foundation 3 - ZURB Playground - ZURB.com
Off Canvas What Now? If you've used Facebook's iPhone app (or Path, or any number of apps that now follow this convention) then you've seen an off canvas panel in a native app. You hit a button and a panel slides in from the left (or depending on how you look at it, the main panel slides out of the way). Luke Wroblewski, author of Mobile First, mentioned this style of layout in his roundup of mobile layout patterns. He and Jason Weaver then worked to create a batch of layouts, which they published to demonstrate how layouts like this could work on the Web. We were so impressed that we wanted to make that style of layout available for Foundation users, and the four layouts below are a few different examples of off-canvas layouts created specifically for Foundation.
