Abstract

Science gateways provide user-centric views to cyberinfrastructure resources, simplifying usage and enabling a richer user experience. To enable the goals of a science gateway and the communities of scientists it supports, gateway developers need to be able to spend more time on designing and developing the user experience and less time on wrestling with the underlying technology (such as HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript). In this poster, we describe our experiences using Twitter Bootstrap and AngularJS frameworks to address this balance between design and implementation, empowering developers to create better styled and easily maintainable websites.
