[Slideshow] – Responsive Web Design: How the mobile web has changed the way we think and work.

On April 16th, Nick Weaver (@nickweaver) and I gave a presentation at the Madison Web Design & Dev Meetup titled “Responsive Web Design:  How the mobile web has changed the way we think and work.” We were pleased to bring such a cool topic to this meetup led by Ben Siegel, Principal at VersaStudio, LLC.

The presentation was an introduction to Responsive Web Design (RWD), a new approach to web development brought forward and popularized by Ethan Marcotte. We covered the benefits and challenges of RWD and the pros and cons of native vs web-based applications for mobile.

Below is a link to the presentation’s slideshow. Enjoy!

Web Dev tool of the week: JSFiddle.net

After seeing it featured in several articles as a tool for live examples, I can only say that JSFiddle is a dream come true: an experimental environment where you can test your HTML, JavaScript and CSS and see the results right there. You can even choose a framework to work with (jQuery, Mootools, Prototype) and start coding away.

Highly recommended. I’ll definitely be using it to test during development!
