Nifty Twitter Tip (Twip?)
Monday, September 28th, 2009Announcing BaseTools 1.0b

Every development team has a different set of tools that they use when building websites and thankfully there are a miriad of readily available tools out there starting with javascript frameworks (we use JQuery), to the effect libraries and the modules/plugins built on top of them.
