less css framework

[Sean Copenhaver]

Anyone have experience with Less (not the CSS with functions thing)?

Looks pretty cool. I haven't used a CSS grid system before but they have my attention with the media queries to control the size of the layout for auto-adjust.

I've played with less a little bit and it seems like it does a decent job of making fairly complex css a little easier to grok.  I have not had a project complex enough to have to worry about it, but cool nonetheless.

If you are interested in design (specifically grid systems), I would recommend taking a look at 960.gs.  It's a great introduction to grid systems in general.  Also, http://designinstruct.com/web-design/code-a-vibrant-professional-web-design-with-html5css3/ is a great introduction to modern design practices and tricks.

I have actually used Less since then (again not the Less language that compiles to CSS). It's nice because it's just so minimal. Only media queries to setup for the various screen sizes you'll run into.

It made it pretty easy to tweak a little web app I did at work to fit on the desktop and my phone.

I'll certainly try to check out those links.
