Overview

Responsive web design (RWD) is a web design methodology that allows you to design your websites and web applications so that they react well to various resolutions and screen sizes of whichever Internet-enabled device your work may be displayed on. In this chapter, we will cover:

  • Some RWD techniques and practices

  • Take RWD to the next level via Responsive Design + Server-Side Components (RESS)

  • Explore libraries such as Modernizr and WURFL to see how these can enhance your application's user experience even further
