This week it’s another RAPIDFIRE!!! Nothing but HOT question & answer action!

We talked about (roughly in order):

Q & A:

  • 2:25 I know with the tag you have the ability to add various image sizes based on screen size. Will there be something similar for the tag?
  • 6:20 Ember JS vs Angular JS: which would you choose?
  • 7:46 What are your thoughts on styling scrollbars?
  • 12:18 Grunt VS Gulp: Fight!
  • 16:15 I’m really only using SCSS, why do I need Grunt or Gulp?
  • 20:50 How do you deal with ads, more specifically AdSense, when it comes to responsive design?
  • 25:33 How do I import a CSS file into SCSS?
  • 29:55 How do I find a web design mentor? Where do mentors go to find people who want to learn?
  • 34:40 Is Require JS something worth diving into?
  • 39:26 Using P to wrap a label instead of div?
  • 43:20 I’ve come across a blog post which tells me to basically stop using Grunt and jump over to Gulp, which does a similar thing but better, apparently. Do you two personally change tools often or do you tend to stick with the same one for quite a long time?
  • 47:07 What is Socket.io?
  • 52:25 What’s your favorite open source CMS for large scale sites?
  • 54:30 I’m working at a startup, can you share some advice about writing scalable CSS?
