• Turbine
  Turbine is a collection of PHP-powered tools that are designed to decrease css development time and web developer headache. This includes:
  _A new, minmal syntax – the less you have have to type, the more you get done
  _Packing, gzipping and automatic minification of multiple style files
  _Constants (also known as "css variables") and selector aliases as well as nested css selectors
  _Oop-like inheritance, extension and templating features
  _Built-in device-, browser- and os sniffing
  _Many automatic bugfixes and enhancements for older browsers
  _Fully exensible through a very simple plugin system. A basic understanding of PHP is enough to add completely new features to Turbine
  _A CSS to Turbine converter and a shell app for experiments and development

Web Typography

The Design Cubicle demonstriert an Hand der A List Apart’s Website das Typografie mehr ist als @font-face.

Instead of focusing this article on choosing a typeface or what makes a quality font, I thought it would be better to focus on something indirectly related, yet thought about, but never enough: Space. Whitespace, negative space, however you deam it, makes for good typography.

Gerade als Nicht-Designer finde ich das ganz spannend auf solche Details aufmerksam gemacht zu werden.

Web Typography

Obwohl, oder gerade weil ich kein Designer bin finde ich Artikel zu Web Typography immer spannend.
