Comments on: The Godfathers’ Boxers http://jasongraphix.com/journal/the-godfathers-boxers/ A journal of art, thoughts, and projects by Jason Beaird. Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:15:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Jason Beaird http://jasongraphix.com/journal/the-godfathers-boxers/#comment-192 Jason Beaird Sat, 29 Jan 2005 21:01:39 +0000 http://beta.jasongraphix.com/journal/the-godfathers-boxers/#comment-192 That's exactly how I feel about the series right now too Justin. I have my examples that I want to talk about for the next two posts, but I'm not sure where I want to go with it yet. The emphasis is on, and will stay on, organization of css code. The main theme is that even though everybody does things a little differently, there are always lessons to be learned in establishing your own rules. I thought about posting that link after I read it Thursday because Dave did an Awesome job of explaining the pros and cons of Eric Meyer's use of redundancy. For those who haven't had a chance to read it yet, be sure to check out <a href="http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2005/01/20/redundancy_v/" rel="nofollow">Redundancy vs. Dependancy</a> by Dave Shea over at Mezzoblue.

Now that I'm honing in on my CSS skills, maybe I should try to structure my files in some meaningful manner. It always seems like I'm just appending rules to my files...sigh. Sometimes it's difficult to see the difference between inheritence and code-reuse, but <a href="http://mezzoblue.com/archives/2005/01/20/redundancy_v/" rel="nofollow">this discussion was helpful</a> for me and may be for you folks too. <blockquote>Esp. when I'm working with an ASP.Net project</blockquote> ASP.NET is no different than anything else. Be consistent across all project types. I like the idea of this series, it’s sorta at the teaser point right now… but it has the potential to be an often read series.

I need to lean how to better organize my css files. Esp. when I'm working with an ASP.Net project. Yeah, I get what you’re saying. I need to lean how to better organize my css files.

I thinks its like when you have a block of code in function A. Then, if you need to do that same thing in function B, you'll pull it out into it's own function (C) and call it from A and B. Not sure if that made any sense, sometimes I really hate the english language. I think its more a code-reuse thing than an inheritence thing.

In OO programing you have a base set of classes, alot of times you set up a base structure of code that you can use later on. That code is then overridden by code specific to that project. It's sorta hard for me to explain. It sounds to me like Eric Meyer setup his base structure at the top and then overrides things as needed at the end.
