I recently discovered Twitter’s excellent HTML/CSS framework Bootstrap and the MVVM framework Knockout.js. I can’t help myself, I have to start the redesign with these two incredible tools.
The first pretty much establishes how a well-designed website could and, more often than not, should look like. It has all ingredients typically needed for a modern website design. Since this is really hard to get right, having something that is tested in the battlefield is a game-changer. Kudos! twitter for releasing this.
The second library allows a much more convenient binding of JavaScript variables to the DOM (and hence to something you can see in the browser). It makes updates of elements on the basis of user input trivial. Mostly.
