YAML CSS Framework — for truly flexible, accessible and responsive websites

YAML CSS Framework — for truly flexible, accessible and responsive websites
A brief history When YAML was released in October 2005, it was conceived as a base for developing flexible layouts, with a strong emphasis on meeting the challenges that result from working with flexible (elastic, fluid) containers and varying units. This CSS framework has been continually improved and extended over the years, based on the feedback and needs of professional frontend developers. Its code base has proved to be stable under real-world conditions on thousands of websites. Over the years, YAML-based websites won several awards at the German annual accessibility competition «Biene Award».

ntent with Style - A CSS Framework In my Modular CSS article I documented the possibility of breaking down stylesheets into components that could be reused across projects. All well and good. The next logical step is to extend this to become a CSS framework, allowing rapid development of sites with pre-written and tested components.

New University of Utah center offers some serious computing muscle to handle 'extreme data' SALT LAKE CITY — A picture may be worth a thousand words, but in the fields of science, they can be worth billions and billions of bytes of information. A few years ago, then Hewlett-Packard CEO Mark Hurd said "more data will be created in the next four years than in the history of the planet." Hurd's prediction was understated.

Foundation: HTML Templates News or Magazine This template puts a focus on bold images, perfect for a magazine style site with eye catching content. Your stories are easy to find with large feature blocks. Golden Grid System GGS was my next step after Less Framework. Instead of a fixed-width grid, it used a fully fluid-width one, without even a maximum width. The resources it was published with are still available on GitHub. The idea was to take a 18-column grid, use the outermost columns as margins, and use the remaining 16 to lay elements out. On smaller screens the 16 columns could be folded into 8, 4 and 2. This behaviour was inspired by Massimo Vignelli's Unigrid system.
