The Discussion

• 

  Matt back again thanks a lot refreshing our memory of 5000 people, like the part 2 web essentials, and why css cant explore all the features. Matt its very nice that you share your experiences web based tools as a part time developer. Recently we have a big project of a hosting firm, and matt,s video help us a lot in optimizing image for their web. yeh matt you are right image optimization play vital role in ranking. Idea of optimizing images through smartshit dot com. Its really amazing that their engine optimize images by it self. Its real time blunder most of web master use to do: not optimizing their images. I am totally agree with you matt that optimizing images can improve your site performance.

  This is great! I especially like the live preview option!

  Robert, when you have a stylesheet open, go to the Styles menu at the top and then you can use a designer to make or edit style rules! This is useful for those of us who aren't completely familiar with all the CSS options that are available! VS2010 doesn't have CSS3 in those designers but Expression Web 4 does have some CSS3 options in theirs which is fun to check out... especially the border radius options since it shows a preview of what it will look like as you change the parameters!

  great. love the improvement in writing code, regions/comments. Live preview is time saving! and the optimizer... I`m really glad to have these tools presented.

• 

  Very nice tools, they make you quite a bit more productive where it matters for web development. Thanks.

  Thank you for this video, I will for sure use it in my current project to optimize our images and speedup css coding...

  It is really annoying listening to the presenter smack his lip and have suck a dry mouth. Really good content, but had to tune out because it was ridiculously annoying.

• 

  Really good development though. Didn't mean to be so harsh, but they should lower your mic or edit those sections out. Really awesome work and thank you.

  I find on problem, wheh you create a class on css, like this .class { } and you press the enter button after de close } than put ; after like this };
  
  I think this occurs because if you especify a propert like margin: 100px and press enter than put ; after.
  
  I think its a problem put ; when you press enter button after close }

  The Ctrl+arrow key for changing pixels isn't working for me.
