Creating your Own HTML and CSS Framework

A lot of developers like to make use of a framework when they code. While frameworks can save you valuable coding time, I think using pre-made frameworks to sometimes be limiting & unproductive.

While this may appear harsh, it’s true. If you’re business is based on handwritten, neat & available code, I personally feel like it’s cheating to make use of someone else’s code. It’s also seldom as neat because it’s someone else’s coding style mixed in to yours. To make use of one of these frameworks requires that you either change the code each time to fit your style, or that you change your style of coding to fit theirs. You’ll also finish up deleting lots of what’s included in the framework because you certainly won’t need it.

Of coursework, frameworks are great for saving coding time. So why not give yourself a leg up by generating your own barebones version? Making a custom framework lets you get the best of both worlds: you’ll save time when beginning a new site & the code will be optimized & neat & exactly the way you code anyways.

My 5-day web developer workshop was really helped me gain some new insights and new technologies that I can use at work and I thank my supervisors and managers for sponsoring for me. This update will be about a software that was widely used during our workshop and is called Bazaar.

Bazaar is is a distributed revision control system designed to make it easier for anyone to contribute to free and open source software projects. The focus is on ease of use, accuracy and flexibility, with a particular focus on branching and merging.It can be used by a single developer working on multiple branches of local content, or by teams collaborating across a network.

Bazaar is written in the Python programming language, with packages for major Linux distributions, Mac OS X and MS Windows.
