I'll throw my recommendation in for Mimosa.

It's a quick way to get a dev environment up with live-reload, coffeescript, microtemplating engine, css pre-processor, require.js, linting, express, etc. without having to configure a bunch of crap. I use it at work.

There's that and also you're one of those websites I hate and leave because you require JS to load images (I use NotScripts). Can't you do this in the PHP or whatever backend you're using?

If you block Javascript then I don't really care about you as a user at all.

You must have never designed a website that was supposed to generate revenue.

"Hey boss, our company had 19.1M in expenses, the site only brought in 19M. Good thing we told 5% of our users to gently caress off!"

If your margin for success is that slim and you actually have high percentage of paranoid users who block scripts. Then sure, but I wouldn't take that job.

For most web apps? I'd focus on a good experience for users who don't break their browsers.

Potentially stupid question here:

Why is it that everyone in web design uses hex colour codes rather than rgb? I can't believe that people find it easier to read the hex representation; is it just a convention held over from some time before rgb colours 'existed' on the web?

It's shorter? It's not that hard to read? And what's the deal with airline food?

If you plan on going the rails route I would highly recommend learning a little bit of ruby first. Try reading poignant-guide to ruby to get a feel for the language... if you like it, you'll like rails.

I couldn't get past the "zany" bullshit in the intro.
