Description
New devices and platforms emerge daily. Browsers iterate at a remarkable pace. Faced with this volatile landscape we can either struggle for control or we can embrace the inherent flexibility of the web.
Responsive design is not just another technique-it is the beginning of the maturation of a medium and a fundamental shift in the way we think about the web.
Implementing Responsive Design is a practical examination of how this fundamental shift affects the way we design and build our sites. Readers will learn how to:
Build responsive sites using a combination of fluid layouts, media queries, and fluid media
Adopt a responsive workflow from the very start of a project
Enhance content for different devices
Use feature-detection and server-side enhancement to provide a richer experience
