Pure - Lightweight Responsive CSS Framework http://mitchmckenna.com/post/12924/pure-lightweight-responsive-css-framework

It's a set of small, responsive CSS modules. Just 5.7KB (smaller if you only use a couple). Includes a grid framework and styles for forms, buttons, tables and menus. It follows the SMACSS concept for modules. Use Skin Builder to customize the feel. If you think Bootstrap enforces too much of a particular look, this may be for you. Pure even works with Bootstrap JS modules.

Laravel 4 Online Tutorial Series http://mitchmckenna.com/post/12067/laravel-4-ioc-controller-injection-amp-unit-testing

The Laravel php framework has quickly became the new "cool kid on the block" of php frameworks. While my go-to framework CodeIgniter prides itself on it's backwards compatibility, Laravel takes a more aggressive approach and focuses on taking advantage of the latest functionality in php. I have to say I have liked what I've seen so far with Laravel; the Elequent ORM is top notch, named routes (and other great features I've seen in Symfony), Restful Controllers, a focus on dependency-injection to help support unit-testing, built in pagination, and a DB Migration system.

Taylor Otwell, the creator of Laravel is doing a online tutorial series on his company UserScrape's Vimeo channel, there's been 4 videos already so go check them out!
