Cibgraphics Design Studio

My new site will be launching in about 3-4 weeks. Got a lot of work left to do still.

One of the major assets that I have in my toolbox is Grunt.js. So fast, so many features. It's awesome.

Grunt: The JavaScript Task Runner In one word: automation. The less work you have to do when performing repetitive tasks like minification, compilation, unit testing, linting, etc, the easier your job becomes.

Minor update for Vanilla5 v2.3.3. github.com/cibgraphics/Va…. Expect some more sizable updates soon.

In the next couple months I will be working on Vanilla5 2.0. Im going to take some time and really figure out what is needed, what isn't, and what could really help developers as they start out projects. Im going to keep it close to it's name and keep it as simple as possible, but also as useful as possible.

With Vanilla5 2.0 for Wordpress I am planning a complete recoding with support for the latest developments in Wordpress 3.6 (currently in beta 2). I am looking to release this at the same time as Vanilla5 but might released after for testing reasons.

Let me know if you are interested in beta testing any of these.

WebDesignTuts+ just mentioned my Responsive Calculator on Twitter. Going to the big leagues. The app has also gotten over 50 downloads on Softpedia.

An update to Vanilla5 and iViewport will be coming up in the next few weeks. Stay tuned.

Coming September, I will no longer be supporting IE7.
