Khoi interviews Olav, the guy who has packaged up a lot of the work we did at LJWorld.com (along with some more work!) into a handy CS framework called Blueprints. It’s a great little interview.
For the record, I was surprised and a bit taken aback when I first saw that someone else had packaged up a lot of our work and released it publicly, but in the end I’m very pleased about it. There some great stuff in there, and Olav has added to it, and done a great job of documenting it and supporting it. And, he definitely gives credit to everyone involved — he was never trying to rip us off. He just wanted to provide something useful, and I’m glad he has! Visit site »
Blueprint is a CSS framework based very heavily on the work Nathan, Christian and I did at the Journal-World (and also taking some cues from Wilson Miner and Khoi Vinh). I’m happy to see it out there and someone else supporting it (since we never could have), but I do sort of wish I’d at least gotten a heads up that someone was planning to package and release it. I suppose Olav didn’t need to ask for permission, but it would have been the polite thing to do. We never really intended our work to see the light of day, but I’m not really bothered that is has. And, Olav does give credit where credit is due.
Anyway, it does look good. It’s got a few minor improvements on what we had built and is packaged very neatly. Give it a look, if you’re interested in this sort of thing. Visit site »
