OOCSS and C5
Permalink
Hi,
I've recently begun reading about, and experimenting with, Object-Oriented CSS ( http://www OOCSS.org ). First, it seems REALLY cool. By streamlining and modularizing CSS code, you can simplify maintenance and speed page load times. Nicole Sullivan (http://www.stubbornella.com ) is a big proponent, having consulted for major players like Facebook and having dramatically improved their code and page loading.
So... (1) I'm interested in hearing if any C5'ers are using the principles of OOCSS in their C5 work and (2) what, if any, benefit it could have if it were to become a core concept of C5 (the core layout can be a three-section affair - left sidebar, main, and right sidebar - where main auto-resizes if left/right/both sidebars are omitted... certainly a boon in a CMS world, no? One template to rule them all?!? LOL!).
Fire away with thoughts!
