Resource suggestion : Cascade Framework

[jslegers]

Cascade Framework is a framework with a highly modular OOCSS inspired architecture optimised for both performance and flexibility.

Consider the following features :

• Cascade Framework contains advanced components like “panels” ( Pattern suggestion : panels #47 ), “navigation” ( Pattern suggestion : navigation #48 ) and “tab blocks” ( Pattern suggestion : tab blocks #49 ) components that can be combined in various ways.
• Cascade Framework is design agnostic. You can choose the default theme, create one of your own or just work with your own project specific custom design and leave out the default theme entirely. Both typography and color scheme are separated in separate modules to suit that purpose.
• Cascade Framework allows you to choose between a Semantic Grid technique and a presentational grid technique.
• With Cascade Framework, you can use any number of columns you want (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,12,16 and 24 columns are supported) throughout your project and nest them freely.
• Cascade Framework’s grid uses a special padding element for its gutter, which combined with the media object integration makes the grid both more powerful and easier to use than any other grid system.
• The total CSS code of Cascade Framework is only about 10kb minified and gzipped and can be further reduced if you don't need all modules. For many projects, you’ll do fine with a build of Cascade Framework with that’s only about 4kb bytes.
• Cascade Framework has a “light” version that’s no more than 2010 bytes in total. While it doesn’t contain components like panels or tabs, it still offers you a clean design for a whole bunch of elements, support for IE6, responsive behavior, etc. If you need just its grid features, you can go as lightweight as 323 bytes.
• Cascade Framework offers support up to IE6 and there are no plans to drop support for older browsers in the near future.
