PauloV Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 Hello Blestars We will start a new project for one client and we want to use the the best responsive framework to be compatible with the major browsers versions (IE8 +, CG, FF, Safari) and also multiplataform Desktop/Tablet/Mobile screens with some "Touch" UI wen in Mobile Mode We have reduced to this 2 frameworks, but maybe there are better ones that we dont know about it Foundation V5 - http://foundation.zurb.com/ Bootstrap V3 - http://getbootstrap.com/ We think Foundation is better (Love how tables work), but we are not 100% sure We appreciate some feedback to help us out Thanks in advance, PV Rodrigo and domaingood 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PauloV Posted September 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 I started only to find a cool framework for responsive websites, and ended to find a better almost perfect IDE to build Responsive Websites + Mobile APP's Thanks for all (naja7host), helping find the Perfect IDE for building Responsive Websites + Mobile APP's, and the great is that all is free NetBeans (https://netbeans.org/) + Cordova (http://cordova.apache.org/)+ (SDK's of all Mobiles) = The Best Free APP Builder for Android/IOS/WINDOWS Mobile NetBeans (https://netbeans.org/) + HTML5 = The Best IDE for building Responsive Websites Many thanks to flangefrog in this post: http://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2973-fully-custom-blesta-order-page/#entry23967 and ofcourse some reserach what NetBeans can do that outhers dont do P.S- Installing everithing on Windows 8.1 take me one full day of researching and testing/debugging, but in the end it compensates every hour spended Now I can build and test in real time my APP's and/or Responsive Websites on my SmartPhone/Tablet/Browser in mutiple OS's Everithing is now set to start building an APP for IOS and Android for Blesta (wen I get some free time, and finish some pending work at the office) To anyone ho want to start build mobile aplications now its the time, its so easy, like a simple website (some acknowledgement in javascript/css/html ofcourse) I use UNITY3D in the past but takes more time to develop than this, UNITY3D is good only for games, for app's takes alot of time Rodrigo, Blesta Addons, flangefrog and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel B Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Nice info Paulo , I've actually been thinking about setting this up sometime soon, just haven't gotten the time...so I can start putzing around with stuff. Specifically in regards to responsive frameworks question though, I've been having a hard time choosing between Foundation and Bootstrap as well for upcoming projects. Bootstrap is definately the big player at the moment...but Foundation is very, very nice... PauloV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flangefrog Posted September 10, 2014 Report Share Posted September 10, 2014 Be sure to try the NetBeans plugin for Chrome, it will allow you to reload automatically on save, and even bring changes from dev tools back to NetBeans. As for responsive frameworks, I actually don't like to use any. I understand the use of them for apps like Blesta where it needs to support plugins, but for most smaller websites I build in OpenCart/Joomla I write all the CSS myself (mobile first) which reduces the page size a lot and makes the site much faster. If I was writing a large web application or one that supports plugins I would probably just use bootstrap as a lot of developers already know how to use it.

If I was writing a large web application or one that supports plugins I would probably just use bootstrap as a lot of developers already know how to use it. One of the main reasons I tend to choose Foundation in a lot of instances is because of it's integration with form verification right out of the box. I do a lot with forms, and it's a huge time saver. The pageload has never really been an issue or a thought really, neither one of them are really huge with minification done. (and I tend to strip a lot of the fluff I don't need anyway) PauloV and flangefrog 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
