26. RWD 101 ‣ Three Core Techniques - A Fluid Foundation - Flexible Content - Media Queries Wednesday, October 16, 13
27. A Fluid Foundation Honor the proportions of the design by creating percentage-based layout instead of fixed-width, pixel-based layout. Wednesday, October 16, 13
28. A Fluid Foundation Browser Window 1000px 600px 400px Wednesday, October 16, 13
29. Browser Window A Fluid Foundation 1000px 600px 400px Wednesday, October 16, 13
30. A Fluid Foundation Browser Window 100% 60% 40% Wednesday, October 16, 13
31. A Fluid Foundation Browser Window 100% 60% 40% Wednesday, October 16, 13
32. Flexible Content Once we have a layout which is based on proportions, the content must also respond. Wednesday, October 16, 13
33. 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. Flexible Content Wednesday, October 16, 13

69. The quality as a whole improves Wednesday, October 16, 13
70. (example: nd.edu) Wednesday, October 16, 13
71. So, how do we actually do this? Wednesday, October 16, 13
72. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Wednesday, October 16, 13
73. A SHIFT IN PROCESS A Process Myth Each client deliverable needs to look more like a final, beautiful end-product than the previous one. Wednesday, October 16, 13
74. 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.) Wednesday, October 16, 13
75. 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. Wednesday, October 16, 13
76. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Our Deliverables Updates ‣ Research Deliverables Updates ‣ Content Deliverables Updates ‣ Priority Deliverables Updates ‣ Style Deliverables Updates ‣ Functional Deliverables Updates Wednesday, October 16, 13
77. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Let’s Focus On... ‣ Research Updates ‣ Content Updates ‣ Priority Updates ‣ Style Updates ‣ Functional Updates Wednesday, October 16, 13
78. 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. Wednesday, October 16, 13
79. 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 Wednesday, October 16, 13
80. 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. Wednesday, October 16, 13
81. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Style Updates ‣ Style Prototype Examples - building.seesparkbox.com • new Sparkbox web style prototype - dressresponsively.com • dress responsively style prototype Wednesday, October 16, 13
82. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Other Style Updates ‣ Element Collages (Dan Mall) ‣ Style Tiles (Samantha Warren) ‣ Photoshop Comps (Everyone) Wednesday, October 16, 13
83. A SHIFT IN PROCESS Use What The Project Needs ‣ Research Deliverables Updates ‣ Content Deliverables Updates ‣ Priority Deliverables Updates ‣ Style Deliverables Updates ‣ Functional Deliverables Updates Wednesday, October 16, 13
84. BEN & ROB’S LATEST THEORY ON WEB PROCESS Wednesday, October 16, 13
85. The amount of process required is inversely proportional to the skill and experience of your team. Wednesday, October 16, 13
86. Create the perfect, fully- documented, all-encompassing web design and development process. Or... Wednesday, October 16, 13
87. Chill out and develop our people. Wednesday, October 16, 13

89. CODE AND PROJECT STRUCTURE SERVING RWD STYLES Wednesday, October 16, 13
90. SERVING RWD STYLES Major Approaches ‣ Single CSS File ‣ Multiple CSS Files ‣ Breakpoint Based Partials ‣ Module Based Partials Wednesday, October 16, 13
91. SERVING RWD STYLES Major Approaches ‣ Single CSS File ‣ Multiple CSS Files ‣ Breakpoint Based Partials ‣ Module Based Partials CSS PREPROCESSING FTW! Wednesday, October 16, 13
92. Before any of this stuff will work, you need to do this: <!-- html --> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0;"> Wednesday, October 16, 13
93. 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; } Wednesday, October 16, 13

114. SERVING RWD STYLES Single CSS File ‣ Simple to implement ‣ Single request ‣ Doesn’t require a preprocessor ‣ Requires JS to serve large layout to old IE if starting with small layouts ‣ Large sites can be difficult to maintain because of the size of the single file Wednesday, October 16, 13
115. SERVING RWD STYLES Major Approaches ‣ Single CSS File ‣ Multiple CSS Files ‣ Breakpoint Based Partials ‣ Module Based Partials Wednesday, October 16, 13
116. Multiple CSS Files HTML <link> If this browser is less than IE9... and it’s not IE Mobile... and viewport width is at least 40em... <link> global.css all styles linear layout layout.css only styles for layout http://adactio.com/journal/4494/ Wednesday, October 16, 13
117. Multiple CSS Files index.html <link href=”global.css” rel=”stylesheet”> <link href=”layout.css” media=”(min-width: 40em)” rel=”stylesheet”> <!--[if (lt IE 9) & (!IEMobile)]> <link href=”layout.css” rel=”stylesheet”> <![endif]--> Wednesday, October 16, 13

124. SERVING RWD STYLES Multiple CSS Files ‣ Doesn’t require a preprocessor ‣ At least two requests ‣ Requires you to separate layout from other styles ‣ Allows you to start with small layouts and serve a single large layout to old IE without JS - Requests go up if you use multiple MQs Wednesday, October 16, 13
125. SERVING RWD STYLES Major Approaches ‣ Single CSS File ‣ Multiple CSS Files ‣ Breakpoint Based Partials ‣ Module Based Partials Wednesday, October 16, 13

136. PAUSE: CSS PREPROCESSORS Wednesday, October 16, 13
137. styles.scss styles.css We write SASS (or LESS, Stylus, etc.) Browser gets CSS (like it always has) PREPROCESSING What is CSS Preprocessing? Wednesday, October 16, 13
138. The Big Three: LESS, SASS, and Stylus Wednesday, October 16, 13
139. LESS ‣ Runs on Node.js ‣ Very similar syntax to SASS ‣ http://lesscss.org/ Wednesday, October 16, 13
140. Variables are specified with @ symbol /* .less */ @top-variable: 20px; ! #header-shadow { ! position: absolute; ! ! top: @top-variable; ! } LESS syntax Wednesday, October 16, 13
141. Stylus ‣ Runs on Node.js ‣ Has a flexible syntax - You can omit semi-colons, colons, and braces ‣ http://learnboost.github.com/ stylus/ Wednesday, October 16, 13
142. /* .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 Wednesday, October 16, 13
143. SASS ‣ Runs on Ruby ‣ Has two syntax flavors - .scss & .sass ‣ http://sass-lang.com/ Wednesday, October 16, 13
144. $main-color: blue /* .scss */ #main { color: $main-color; font-size: 0.3em; } /* .sass */ #main color: $main-color font-size: 0.3em SASS Sytax Wednesday, October 16, 13
145. What’s so cool about preprocessors, anyway? Wednesday, October 16, 13
146. /* .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; } Wednesday, October 16, 13
147. Nesting can be abused. /* This is bad. Don’t do it. */ html body #main div.primary .big-header { font-size: 2em; } ! Wednesday, October 16, 13
148. /*.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 Wednesday, October 16, 13
149. /*.scss*/ @mixin border-radius( $value : 10px ) { ! -webkit-border-radius: $value; ! -moz-border-radius: $value; ! ! ! border-radius: $value; } Mixins .btn{ @include border-radius(25px); } Wednesday, October 16, 13
150. 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... Wednesday, October 16, 13
151. Sparkbox REM Mixin Wednesday, October 16, 13
152. /*.scss*/ @include rem(padding, 0.5, 1, 4, 3); @include rem(font-size, 1.2, large); Sparkbox REM Mixin Wednesday, October 16, 13
153. Compass & Bourbon ‣ Compass and Bourbon are mixin libraries for SASS ‣ Takes care of vendor prefixes with mixins ‣ Compass has an ecosystem of plugins built on top of Compass ‣ With config.rb, Compass lets you check the preprocessor config into source control Wednesday, October 16, 13
