- 4. Definition Responsive Web Design (RWD) is web design in which a site is crafted to provide an optimal user experience across all devices (everything with a screen) hat tip to wikipedia
- 6. Let there be no mistake Adaptive vs Responsive web design ADAPTIVE THIS IS RESPONSIVE Hat tip to Aaron Gustafson & Brad Frost
- 7. “Why?” © 2001: A Space Odyssey, Stanley Kubrick & Arthur C. Clarke
- 9. Conclusion • There’s a growing mainstream expectation that you can simply get all your content from any device. • We expect content to flow seamlessly, follow us throughout the day.
- 10. Let’s tackle that with some philosophy!

- 12. and there’s even more…
- 14. “Anything that can be connected to the internet, will be.”
- 17. Why go responsive? “We do responsive web design, but we don’t do it for the sake of being trendy. We do it because we believe it’s the way websites should be made. This is an opportunity for us to finally embrace the dynamic medium we build for. The web is not fixed width.” - Ben Callahan http://seesparkbox.com/foundry/you_say_responsive_i_say_adaptive

- 20. Open your mind • Everything has changed and continues to do so, fast • Accept it and move on • Loose the myths • Get some new skills • Make mistakes • Time will tell • Be proud to be a part of it
- 22. 3 basic ingredients © Eén, Dagelijkse kost
- 23. • A flexible grid – The design has fluid layout elements that change on browser size • Conditional images & other media – The design uses one or more techniques to scale images and media so that the design performs well across devices • Media queries – Conditional code that changes items on a page based on device detection or browser width
- 24. Viewport, media queries and breakpoints

- 27. • Advanced elements – A basic fluid grid is the priority; but to be fully responsive we must often cover slideshows, tables, tabs, multi-column type, custom widgets, forms, and more. • Touch input – Touch input is a critical development component as we move away from a mouse- first model of human-computer interaction • RESS and server-side conditionals – Heavy lifting for user agent detection and conditional media deployment is done by the server, not the device.
- 28. THINGS TO GET IT ON
- 29. Wireframes? full wireframes for each breakpoint Pros: Cons • most thorough method • takes the longest • no page element left • it’s static! unexplored • with a slow-decision • may be the best solution for retrofitting group, prepare for a because it provides the long process most detail
- 30. Wireframes? responsive prototypes Pros: Cons • gets specific about • requires someone on repositioning and the team have front-end content without skills promising every detail • may not prevent the • one asset per template need for more detailed instead of three or four wireframes
- 32. Flexible grids grids, grids everywhere… • Play around with the many grid systems online to get a good feel what they do… • Examples…
- 37. Conditional images Take a look at this to get started http://adaptive-images.com/
- 38. About design Split it Atmosphere Layout

- 40. Responsive design patterns Lot’s of examples available • provide effective examples at the beginning of a project so that you’re not rethinking the wheel.
- 44. Responsive typography Don’t neglect it, it’s your content! • “Setting web type in Photoshop is a waste of time” — Andy Clarke • Test on real devices (don’t scale your browser) • Be careful with line lengths (keep it readable)
- 48. Performance is also by design Issues for RWD • Over downloading – Download & hide, download & shrink, excess DOM • Poor networks – High latency, variable band width, packet loss
- 49. Issue #1 The average weight of a web page today? 1 MB HTML flash other CSS images javascript 82% Source: http://httparchive.org/
- 50. Issue #2 How many requests requires the average website? 85 Cable modem Cell network 0.4 sec 4.2 sec 10 x slower Source: Guy Podjarny & HTTP Achive
- 51. So optimize! By doing following • Reduce asset size – HTML/CSS compression, image compression, try to avoid images, minification, avoid bulky frameworks • Reduce requests – Browser cache, concatenate JS & CSS, localStorage, data:URI, conditional loading • Speed-up page render – Avoid DOM reflows & repaints, defer loading of javascript, lazy load javascript, touch beats on click, …
- 52. Something about our tools “The framework for what a page is has changed considerably even in the past few years, though our applications for designing those frameworks are still stuck in the web of yore, and largely dictated by their use for print design.” - Jason Santa Maria

- #21: Dusalleswat je geleerdhebt, kan je best even vergeten, het gaat nu enormsnelomdat het nogzonieuw is.Dus stop met zittenmopperen, vooruit met de geit, het gaatnietmiraculeusverdwijnen.Laten we ookproberen de mythestebegraven, als je bij RWD nog over ‘de fold’ durfttebeginnen, dankan je beter in de politiekgaan,daarkan je eenderwatvertellenHet lijkt me aangewezenvoor designers van eenderwelkestrekking, omnieuwedingen op tepikken, maak de handenvuil HTML/CSS/JAVASCRIPT/FRAMEWORKS of anderetechnischekennis op tedoen, nietdat je alleszelfmoetkunnen, maar je moet het op zijnminsttochgoedbegrijpenMaakgerustfouten, daar leer je het meest van! I knowWe zijn nu nog maar net begonnen met ditgroteavontuur en zijn de oplossingenaan het ontdeken, time will tell wateroverleeftwatvoor de prullenbak is.Het is en blijfteen van de coolste jobs in de wereld, en in de geschiedenis van technologie is dittocheen van de boeiendste moment die wereldwijdzijninvloedheeft, dusweestrostomdaaraandeeltenemen.
- #26: Erwordendaarleuke schema’s rondgemaakt die goedalsleidraadkunnendienen/ maar onthoudtdat je breakpoint eigenlijk best door je content zelfwordenbepaald, vanaf het punt dat je design wordtgebroken.

- #32: Je krijgtsnel de vraag, ja maar, waaromdoen we nietallesrechtstreeks in de browser? Ikvermoeddat het best is dat je die fase van wireframingen en/of schetsenniet mag overslaan; geenenkele architect beginteenhuistebouwenzonder plan.
- #56: Als je erechtietswil over leren, dankom je met dezeboeken al eenheeeleind.
- #57: Bedanktvoor het luisteren.Als je vragenmochthebben, kan je me altijd via Twitter vinden. Anders even tijdens de pauze, daarna ben ik jammer genoeg op wegnaarBerlijnvooreenconferentie. Dankuwel!
