This week it’s another RAPIDFIRE!!! Nothing but HOT question & answer action!

We talked about (roughly in order):

Q & A:

2:25 I know with the tag you have the ability to add various image sizes based on screen size. Will there be something similar for the tag?

6:20 Ember JS vs Angular JS: which would you choose?

7:46 What are your thoughts on styling scrollbars?

12:18 Grunt VS Gulp: Fight!

16:15 I’m really only using SCSS, why do I need Grunt or Gulp?

20:50 How do you deal with ads, more specifically AdSense, when it comes to responsive design?

25:33 How do I import a CSS file into SCSS?

29:55 How do I find a web design mentor? Where do mentors go to find people who want to learn?

34:40 Is Require JS something worth diving into?

39:26 Using P to wrap a label instead of div?

43:20 I’ve come across a blog post which tells me to basically stop using Grunt and jump over to Gulp, which does a similar thing but better, apparently. Do you two personally change tools often or do you tend to stick with the same one for quite a long time?

47:07 What is Socket.io?

52:25 What’s your favorite open source CMS for large scale sites?

54:30 I’m working at a startup, can you share some advice about writing scalable CSS?
