Thanks for the time you took answering my noob'ish questions :-).
There is still A LOT i need to learn about RoR and general programming... definitely!
I'm using HTML5 boilerplate for the site and using regular CSS and jQuery. I also spent a lot time front-end coding (you always end up doing that) on showwwdown and I think I learned some very nice things in the process.
What's the difference between sass and .less? I've messed a bit around with twitter bootstrap 2.0 and they are using .less. It's a very sexy way to write css, but I hate the fact you have to convert the .less files to css before you deploy.
Would you really work directly with javascript? Not with one of the frameworks? I hate javascript!
Thanks for the complement. Showwwdown is a site where you can start a competition if you have a dribbble invite to hand out and then people can post their best work to win that invite. Follow @showwwdown and I'll let you know when the next competition starts :-).
