Description

This is the Rough Cut version of the printed book.

Suddenly, billions of people are accessing the web via smartphones and tablets of all shapes and sizes, using interfaces and displays of all kinds: touch screens, gestures, keyboards, mice, trackballs, high PPI screens, giant screens, you name it. Responsive Mobile Design teaches you principles, techniques, and best practices for building sites that deliver a successful experience to all users on all devices.

Writing for developers, designers, and managers, Phil Dutson shows how to create content that is responsive "from the start." He begins with crucial issues of design and strategy, and then delivers the technical know-how you need to transform responsive designs into responsive sites. Along the way, you'll find coverage of crucial issues such as integrating media content; optimizing performance; serving Retina or high-density displays; and using advanced server techniques to deliver content more efficiently.

You'll discover tools for designing responsive sites more easily -- and above all, techniques for promoting responsiveness by keeping site development simple and flexible. Throughout, Dutson combines detailed and practical explanations with fully-functional code snippets designed for easy reuse; extensive downloadable resources are provided online.
