Would you use a CSS Framework?
August 7, 2007
I just got back from a nice weekend in Northern Ontario (in Parry Sound) and it was nice to be away from the computer for 4 (actually almost 5) days. Following the idea of a lazy weekend I was reading through StyleGala today and an article prompted my interest. The article was about a framework that someone had developed to make coding CSS simpler and easier. If you’ve ever had the chance to learn CSS then you’ll know that it is not a hard language to learn (once you’ve learned the concepts) and that it really doesn’t take that long to learn.
It boggled my mind a little as to why someone would go the trouble of making a CSS framework. Sure speed is always an issue but to be honest it isn’t like it takes long to code CSS.
My programming teacher back in college once said to us “Why reinvent the wheel?” Personally I think that if you are a developer or professional designer you’ve either got your own CSS styles built and ready to go and would probably find this a waste of time. However, if you are just learning CSS then this could be a beneficial resource to use as you learn more about CSS.
