I do both front end and back end work, although I was definitely stronger at front end when I started. I don't use CSS frameworks, but I do have a set of css files I usually start with as my foundation and I now use SCSS quite a bit. Frameworks are very functional and can produce very professional sites, but they carry a lot of overhead and limit design flexibility. Most Rails books seem to be written by back end developers and usually don't give this much attention. I can recommend one book, *The Rails View, *which does a good job if you are interested in expanding your skills in this area. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
