Hey folks, Cameron from Big Bang Technology here. A little background:<p>We're fed up with Flash/Flex on the Front End and we're working on redesigning our flagship application Woople (<a href="http://www.woople.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.woople.com</a>) to use a responsive mobile friendly design. We have a lot of friends in the Toronto area who stop in by our office and see what's happening and when they saw the process that we were using they got excited and really wanted us to share with them how exactly we were doing the conversion.<p>So we figured other people would be interested as well. Here are some things you'll learn:<p>* Performing a component inventory on your existing application * Editing and sorting the component inventory * Creating a set of categories for your design framework * Building your framework website to help communicate with your stakeholders * Customizing Bootstrap 2.0 * Building your framework as re-usable Rails Engine / ruby gem so all your applications can leverage it. * Working with your development team to upgrade and version each component so you can smoothly roll out upgrades.<p>Plus a lot more...<p>Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Obviously there isn't a lot to see yet but I expect the first episode to be released soon as well as an introduction video.
