We talked about (roughly in order):

News’n’Links’n’Drama:

  • 17:10 CSSOff #hotdrama: Dan made a PSD that was too good.
  • Q & A:

    • 33:02 In defense of AMPPS…
    • 34:45 Can you guys rant about the different scenarios on how and/or when and/or why to use javascript on text/typography?
    • 46:21 How much testing and compatibility is enough? Should we just stick to the big 5 browsers on desktops, Android browsers, Safari on mobile devices?
    • 51:48 I’ve been trying a couple of CSS/JS frameworks lately (Bourbon+Neat, Foundation) and I’m struggling to choose which better suits my purposes. What do you suggest? What frameworks/libraries do you guys use for your projects?
