Prototyping is building a simulation of how a completed project will work. It allows designers to show how an entire application will function.

With stylesheets getting larger, more complex and harder to maintain, Sass lets you use features that don’t exist in CSS such as variables, nesting, mixins, inheritance and other features that make writing CSS fun again.
Pagekit is a new CMS developed by YOOtheme, a company that has been creating themes and extensions for Joomla and WordPress since 2007.
It is a modular and lightweight CMS built with Vue.js and Symfony components. On the code level, nearly everything is a Module object: the theme, extensions, widgets and the core functionality itself. This keeps code complexity to a minimum and allows developers to work with the same concept in many different places.
In web development, style guides for the code itself is rarely discussed upon. It’s useful for developers as it helps create organization in the code, improve its readability and maintenance. The main goal in all of this is to optimize CSS.

For us developers, staring at the screen for hours is a norm. If there were a way to make things more bearable, it would be to tweak certain colors on your screen to adjust it comfortably for your eyes. By default, the Firefox developer tools have two themes; light and dark. If that does not satisfy you, now you can personalize it according to your tastes. Firefox uses a combination of XUL and CSS for its UI, which means most of its appearance can be tweaked using just CSS. This gives freedom to developers to tweak how certain syntax appears on-screen allowing a greater degree of customization for the developer.
