Isn't UIKit Apple's framework. Probably time for a new name.

What if he doesn't know about Object C at all? Different domain, I think.

I dunno. A different domain would be like if I called my new bluegrass band, Uikit.

This name does sort of confuse. Although I don't know how more generic you can get then, "User Interface Kit", although the capitalization of Uikit is a little awkward.

This has been around for a long time. I've used it on projects and been impressed because it's small, naming structure is decent and it contains most things you need.

If I remember correctly it was developed by YooTheme, a company that sells templates for Joomla.

They also had a great plug in that was good for managing user submissions easily with custom fields. I used it at a time where my skills werent as good. The client is still using it AFAIK.

This is my favorite frontend framework ATM. I have used Zurb's Foundation and Twitter's Bootstrap too for fairly big projects and I found UIkit to be the best of both worlds. The markup required for it to work is much smaller than with Bootstrap, it looks great, the grid system is flexible, it has a ton of official javascript components, so this framework is pretty great. I highly recommend it.

Looks interesting, though it's odd the grid only goes to 10 columns - 12 is much more flexible.

Don't let this fool you, you can still create 2, 3, 4, 5, or even 6 column rows, also with nested grids you can create a 12 column row too.

Cool thanks, that's good to know.

Not that generic – Apple uses "kit" as a suffix for most of their frameworks, and I don't know any other large frameworks that do that (could be wrong on this, of course, but it does seem an "Apple thing" at this point).
