Hi Jessie, We've been using Bootstrap for a couple of our projects at Talis and I have been incredibly pleased with it. I have zero design sense (designed by East German engineers for East German engineers - no offense to East German engineers), and Bootstrap manages to make my clumsy, ham-han

I read this awhile back. It's by someone associated with the Foundation project. http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dive-into-responsive-prototyping-with-foundation/ Both look good. Like you, I looked hard at Bootstrap after the conference, but haven't really done anything with it. I'd be intere

Hi all, We are about to develop a set of style-guids and templates for our locally developed applications that will have a unified look and feel. One manifestation of this will be a ruby gem that we will use for all of our rails apps (including Blacklight and Hydra applications). As we were di
