BEM Methodology

tstephens — 2013-07-31T12:35:55+00:00

BEM-methodology was developed at Yandex while working on a large number of web services, and is aimed to achieve following: Fast-to-develop, long-lived projects Team scalability Code reuse BEM stands for Block, Element, Modifier. The meaning of these terms will be described further in the article. One of the most common examples of a methodology in programming is Object-Oriented Programming. It's a programming paradigm embodied by many languages. In some ways, BEM is similar to OOP. It's a way of describing reality in code, a range of patterns, and a way of thinking about program entities regardless of programming languages being used. We used BEM principles to create a set of front-end development techniques and tools, that allow us to build websites quickly and maintain them over a long time.

Interestingly (and not surprisingly), browsers differ in rendering images at non-native sizes, with some providing noticeably better results than others. Internet Explorer 6 in particular looked to be the least smooth when scaling images down, but some interesting workarounds are available.

12 Examples of Paragraph Typography

tstephens — 2008-10-06T12:58:49+00:00

Only standard

tags have been used. Some of these styles are experiments using pseudo elements and adjacent sibling selectors; browser support is not consistent. Paragraph font size is set at 1em (equivalent to 16px if browser font size is unchanged) and line height set at 1.25em. Georgia was used exclusively. No browser specific CSS has been used—any inconsistency in the rendering of line-height, baseline and element positioning has been left for cross browser comparison before implementing.
