Hello, i'm designer and before of that a human being, so i wonder: why make web2py less human readable?
what's "ez-negmr" "ez-50"??!!!! the semantic of the most css framework is a problem, because they haven't. ...On the other hand: To have fewer elements is simpler to understand when you start to learn and use something new. To have a simple layout, without images, without a heavy css ... etc. I think it's better, perhaps more ugly, but faster to learn. Less elements = less uncertainty. This encourages the learning process. well, it's just what I think. Greetings! Pepe. On Mar 20, 1:25 pm, mdipierro <mdipie...@cs.depaul.edu> wrote: > Yarko did it!
