The solution is not to codify best practices; the solution is to use a better language! (This coincides with PG's argument for lisp/macros) Although the slides do mention sass an lesscss at the last side, I think 'stylus' is a much better css language. http://learnboost.github.com/stylus http://learnboost.github.com/stylus IT has powerful abstraction facilities in the form of functions and mixins. Here's an example of how powerful it can be: vendor(prop, args) -webkit-{prop} args -moz-{prop} args {prop} args border-radius() vendor('border-radius', arguments) Having this abstraction, we can: button border-radius 1px 2px / 3px 4px And the output will be: button { -webkit-border-radius: 1px 2px / 3px 4px; -moz-border-radius: 1px 2px / 3px 4px; border-radius: 1px 2px / 3px 4px; }
