I've seen it used most commonly for framework assets (e.g., icons in profiler bar, exception handler pages, etc.) so that you don't have to clutter up your public directory with assets that will never be served on production. Otherwise, spriting + a pre-processor/asset pipeline gives nearly the same main benefit (reduced HTTP requests) with a lot less developer work + allows for caching.

#16This is such a great resource, thanks for this! I have been looking for a good consolidation of some of the more advanced features just to keep around. Can't wait to see this finished!

Re: An Advanced Guide to HTML and CSS
#18Looks great, and reading the first lessons shows it's also written well and very useful.
One small question, why did you chose a non responsive layout? It is pretty unreadable on mobile (at least for me). I'm sure it's work in progress, but this is the first thing I've noticed.
Again, thank you for posting (and creating) I find it useful and looking forward for the next chapters.
Re: An Advanced Guide to HTML and CSS
#19Does anyone know of any guides or books for really advanced HTML/CSS? I find a lot of these guides target regular websites, which I have experience with, whereas I'd love to know how to create much more advanced layouts (e.g. Gmail, Grooveshark). Does anyone know where I can find information on that kind of stuff?
