77. Frequent concern for this project: How something will scale to desktop? Actual times this has been a problem when mobile has been solid already: 0
78. Small screen assets Large screen assets Progressive enhancement based on screen size Mobile First Responsive Web Design is a technical approach for responsible responsive designs.
79. http://www.flickr.com/photos/soldiersmediacenter/6999691421 Yes, there are obstacles…
80. But the biggest challenge is us. http://www.flickr.com/photos/yamagatacamille/5434502250/
81. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellogeri/6154034099/ A few years ago, Jeremy Keith talked about how…
82. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60415054@N00/14301113/ we told ourselves that the web was…

86. 1024 px 768 px
87. http://www.flickr.com/photos/adactio/6153481666/ Then mobile came and made us realize…
88. that it was a consensual hallucination all along. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibaldi/303085857/
89. The web never had a fixed canvas. http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulocarrillo/124755065/
90. Even our tools perpetuate the lie.
91. http://www.flickr.com/photos/69797234@N06/7203485148/ We’re making some progress.
92. We often dismiss as unlikely the idea that someone will want to use our service on a small screen.
93. It’s fairly certain that the highest-value use will stay predominantly on desktop… Most complex tasks have vastly better user experience on the desktop and thus will be performed there. —Jacob Nielsen https://www.nngroup.com/articles/transmedia-design-for-3-screens/
94. http://www.flickr.com/photos/brunauto/5062644167/
95. 80% during misc downtime 76% while waiting in lines 86% while watching TV 69% for point of sale research http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbonnyc/5140154965
96. TMI
97. 39% use phone on toilet
98. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in observing people on their mobile devices, it’s that they’ll do anything on mobile if they have the need. Write long emails? Check. Manage complex sets of information? Check. And the list goes on. If people want to do it, they’ll do it on mobile -especially when it’s their only or most convenient option. —Luke Wroblewski lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?1333
99. http://mobithinking.com/mobile-marketing-tools/latest-mobile-stats#mobile-only 25% of mobile web users in U.S. never or infrequently access the desktop web.
101. Understanding mobile as the primary and sometimes only device… http://www.flickr.com/photos/e4a-2030/5106562313
102. is difficult when we spend so much time on our PCs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/goobi/4021009835/
103. Even the way we work as teams needs to change.
104. http://mashable.com/2012/12/11/responsive-web-design/ Common first approach: Mobile, Tablet, & Desktop Breakpoints
105. Resize until the page looks bad then… BOOM! you need a breakpoint.
106. Major Breakpoint 1 (media query in document head) Major Breakpoint 3 (media query in document head) 320 px to 720 px wide 720 px to 1024 px major breakpoints Example major layout changes 320 720 Major Breakpoint 2 (media query in document head) nothing is here...but that’s ok! (P) = Portrait (L) = Landscape (L*) = Landscape w/ native viewport adaptation < 320 px wide and/or unable to understand further instructions 1024 iPhone (P) many Android (P) many BlackBerry S60 QWERTY Most S60 (L) S40 QWERTY some tablets most NetBooks many Desktops http://www.slideshare.net/yiibu/pragmatic-responsive-design

110. What’s the point?
111. Don’t go chasing waterfalls.
112. Old Waterfall Process http://viljamis.com/blog/2012/responsive-workflow/
113. No way to design for every breakpoint in PhotoShop!
114. New Responsive Design Process http://viljamis.com/blog/2012/responsive-workflow/
115. Tiny Bootstraps, for Every Client Responsive deliverables should look a lot like fully-functioning Twitter Bootstrap- style systems custom tailored for your clients’ needs. These living code samples are self-documenting style guides that extend to accommodate a client’s needs as well as the needs of the ever-evolving multi-device web. —Dave Rupert, Responsive Deliverables http://daverupert.com/2013/04/responsive-deliverables/ “

120. Responsive Conversion: Converting existing, working site to responsive.
122. Pattern identification exercise
123. Group similar items and brainstorm names
124. Repeat with larger components
125. Fair warning: I use patterns and components interchangeably.
130. An example sprint cycle T M F T W review briefing start F T M T W review approval end
131. • How the patterns are used. • Any edge cases for the patterns. • Analytics information on the patterns. • User testing that has been done. • Support or user feedback on patterns. • Relevant documentation or styleguides. Each sprint starts with UX briefing on patterns
132. Small screen sketching of patterns
133. Move into code as quickly as possible
134. Iterate quickly using whatever tools work best
137. Each sprint the patterns get more complex, and the work moves faster because the completed patterns are building blocks.
138. Some things we commonly do: Focus on parts of the interface, not the whole page. Prototype outside of the actual environment to keep things lightweight and fast. Pick the pieces of the interface that we think will be the most difficult to do on small screens and start there. Only when we have the small screen interface nailed, worry about larger screens and integration. Do the minimal possible to convey how it should work.
139. #1 Iterative processes replace waterfalls. Design and development must work together. No silos. Designing systems of responsive components. #2 #3
140. Responsive is the answer. http://www.flickr.com/photos/38208449@N00/7712219364

142. Learn how to let go of the illusions that comfort us. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibaldi/303085857/
145. This is the web as it should be. As it wants to be. The web in its natural state. http://www.flickr.com/photos/25062265@N06/6069101123
146. It’s what our users expect. http://www.flickr.com/photos/johanl/6798184016
147. If you don’t adapt, then you are ripe for disruption. http://www.flickr.com/photos/gsfc/7521155076/
