Three Plug-N-Play CSS Libraries

/ / No Comments
For probably over a decade, when I wanted to make a demo/site look nice and didn’t really care about making it unique, I’d go to Bootstrap. Bootstrap had a nice, clean look and as I was usually employing it for demos, or admin screens, I didn’t care if it looked like every other Bootstrap site. While Bootstrap was mostly simple, it’s also wordy as heck. Bootstrap has an insane love affair with div tags and even a simple Bootstrap page feels like the line number goes up 4X.

Best of all, you don’t really need any Java knowledge to do this. Typically libraries will provide good docs and and examples and the mental model of translating a Java example to BoxLang’s language is fairly simple. A few days ago, I blogged an example of parallel processing in BoxLang and in one of the samples, I did a tiny bit of RSS feed processing. I mentioned... more →

Investigating IndexedDB Wrapper Libraries – Part Three

/ / No Comments
Welcome to the third and final (for now) entry into my series looking at wrapper libraries for working with IndexedDB.
