4,290 PointsDifferent CSS framework with Treebook
Has anyone completed the Ruby on Rails "Treebook" course except by using a different CSS framework? What was the result? Would you say it was better than using Twitter Bootstrap? Was it easier/harder?

2,769 PointsAny CSS framework(or no framework) should go fine with the ruby on rails course. Remember the CSS and HTML is just the displaying of the content. Ruby just allows you to create dynamic sites where you don't always have to hand edit the html of the page.
I'm not saying you aren't going to have to figure some things out based on your framework of choice but it shouldn't make the RoR part any harder.
My CSS framework of choice is Amazium. It's got a lot of the useful features but doesn't go overboard and have a default style for every little thing any site might need.

4,290 PointsI keep on wanting to use another framework but I always come back to Twitter Bootstrap because it has such great documentation. Groundwork (which I mentioned earlier), doesnt. If I had the time I would write some documentation and send it as a pull request
