27. RWD 101 ‣ Three Core Techniques - A Fluid Foundation - Flexible Content - Media Queries Thursday, September 12, 13
28. A Fluid Foundation Honor the proportions of the design by creating percentage-based layout instead of fixed-width, pixel-based layout. Thursday, September 12, 13
29. A Fluid Foundation Browser Window 1000px 600px 400px Thursday, September 12, 13
30. Browser Window A Fluid Foundation 1000px 600px 400px Thursday, September 12, 13

33. A Fluid Foundation http://bostonglobe.com Thursday, September 12, 13
34. Flexible Content Once we have a layout which is based on proportions, the content must also respond. Thursday, September 12, 13
35. Browser Window We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

41. Flexible Content http://microsoft.com Thursday, September 12, 13
42. Media Queries When our content and our design are no longer working in harmony, we need to make a larger shift in layout. Thursday, September 12, 13

72. The quality as a whole improves Thursday, September 12, 13
73. (example: nd.edu) Thursday, September 12, 13
74. So, how do we actually do this? Thursday, September 12, 13
75. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Thursday, September 12, 13
76. A SHIFT IN PROCESS A Process Myth Each client deliverable needs to look more like a final, beautiful end-product than the previous one. Thursday, September 12, 13
77. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Which Results In Pushing toward nearly-designed wireframes quickly and completely designed comps soon after. (This sets up all sorts of unrealistic client expectations.) Thursday, September 12, 13
78. A SHIFT IN PROCESS A Better Approach Inviting the client into the process regularly so that “deliverables” become “progress updates.” Time is not wasted on perfecting the parts, but advancing the whole. Thursday, September 12, 13
79. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Our Deliverables Updates ‣ Research Deliverables Updates ‣ Content Deliverables Updates ‣ Priority Deliverables Updates ‣ Style Deliverables Updates ‣ Functional Deliverables Updates Thursday, September 12, 13
80. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Let’s Focus On... ‣ Research Updates ‣ Content Updates ‣ Priority Updates ‣ Style Updates ‣ Functional Updates Thursday, September 12, 13
81. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Priority Updates ‣ Content Priority Prototypes - Takes the place of a traditional wireframe. - As much real content as you can. - Linear in nature, priority implied. - Possibly created in HTML, viewed in a browser. - Generated by content/UX people. Thursday, September 12, 13
82. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Priority Updates ‣ Content Priority Examples - Non HTML examples • Smashing Article: Design Process In The Responsive Age - HTML example • building.seesparkbox.com Thursday, September 12, 13
83. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Style Updates ‣ Style Prototype - Like Style Tiles, but in the browser (styletil.es). - Very fast to build. - Accurate web typography. - Easy to show web interaction. - Client reviews in their browser of preference. Thursday, September 12, 13
84. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Style Updates ‣ Style Prototype Examples - building.seesparkbox.com • new Sparkbox web style prototype - dressresponsively.com • dress responsively style prototype Thursday, September 12, 13
85. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Other Style Updates ‣ Element Collages (Dan Mall) ‣ Style Tiles (Samantha Warren) ‣ Photoshop Comps (Everyone) Thursday, September 12, 13
86. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Use What The Project Needs ‣ Research Deliverables Updates ‣ Content Deliverables Updates ‣ Priority Deliverables Updates ‣ Style Deliverables Updates ‣ Functional Deliverables Updates Thursday, September 12, 13

94. SERVING RWD STYLES Major Approaches ‣ Single CSS File ‣ Multiple CSS Files ‣ Breakpoint Based Partials ‣ Module Based Partials CSS PREPROCESSING FTW! Thursday, September 12, 13
95. Before any of this stuff will work, you need to do this: <!-- html --> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0;"> Thursday, September 12, 13
96. And, you should also do this: /* CSS */ @-webkit-viewport { width:device-width; } @-moz-viewport { width:device-width; } @-ms-viewport { width:device-width; } @-o-viewport { width:device-width; } @viewport { width:device-width; } Thursday, September 12, 13

139. PAUSE: CSS PREPROCESSORS Thursday, September 12, 13
140. The Big Three: LESS, SASS, and Stylus Thursday, September 12, 13
141. LESS ‣ Runs on Node.js ‣ Very similar syntax to SASS ‣ http://lesscss.org/ Thursday, September 12, 13
142. Variables are specified with @ symbol /* .less */ @top-variable: 20px; ! #header-shadow { ! position: absolute; ! ! top: @top-variable; ! } LESS syntax Thursday, September 12, 13
143. Stylus ‣ Runs on Node.js ‣ Has a flexible syntax - You can omit semi-colons, colons, and braces ‣ http://learnboost.github.com/ stylus/ Thursday, September 12, 13
144. /* .styl */ top-variable = 20px ! #main-header ! position absolute ! ! top top-variable #footer { ! background: blue ! ! border 1px solid #00f; } Notice the terse, forgiving syntax. Stylus Syntax Thursday, September 12, 13
145. SASS ‣ Runs on Ruby ‣ Has two syntax flavors - .scss & .sass ‣ http://sass-lang.com/ Thursday, September 12, 13
146. $main-color: blue /* .scss */ #main { color: $main-color; font-size: 0.3em; } /* .sass */ #main color: $main-color font-size: 0.3em SASS Sytax Thursday, September 12, 13
147. What’s so cool about preprocessors, anyway? Thursday, September 12, 13
148. /* .scss */ .food-list { list-style: none; li { font-size: 1rem; a { color: red; } } } Nesting /* .css */ .food-list { list-style: none; } .food-list li { font-size: 1rem; } .food-list li a { color: red; } Thursday, September 12, 13
149. Nesting can be abused. /* This is bad. Don’t do it. */ html body #main div.primary .big-header { font-size: 2em; } ! Thursday, September 12, 13
150. Nesting can be abused. /* This is bad. Don’t do it. */ html body #main div.primary .big-header { font-size: 2em; } ! Thursday, September 12, 13
151. /*.scss*/ $white: rgba(255,255,255,1); /*.less*/ @white: rgba(255,255,255,1); /*.styl*/ white = rgba(255,255,255,1); $black = rgba(0,0,0,1); Variables Thursday, September 12, 13
152. /*.scss*/ @mixin border-radius( $value : 10px ) { ! -webkit-border-radius: $value; ! -moz-border-radius: $value; ! ! ! border-radius: $value; } Mixins .btn{ @include border-radius(25px); } Thursday, September 12, 13
153. Mixins ‣ SASS and Stylus both support basic programming like loops, if/ else, etc. in mixins. ‣ LESS only offers “guarded mixins.” - I hear this is better with the *new* version... Thursday, September 12, 13
154. Sparkbox REM Mixin Thursday, September 12, 13
