Chapter 3. Building the Gallery Page

In the previous chapter, we did a lot of work and we built quite a base for the rest of our portfolio site. With the knowledge we now have and the small amount of code we wrote on top of the 320 and Up framework, we can really start to move fast. In this chapter, we are going to do just that. We are going to build a gallery of panels that will be stacked for narrow screens and tiled for wide screens. To do this, we are going to use the same basic approach that we did in the previous chapter for the triad of content panels at the bottom of our page.
