Part one The individual
None
Strengths & values
To progress and to create work of substance or even
greatness, we each must start by knowing our values, our strengths, and the level of expertise we seek Strengths and values
Learning
The sad, beautiful fact that we’re all going to miss
almost everything. Linda Holmes

Craftsmanship
Cra smanship is a basic human impulse: the desire to
do a job well for its own sake. Cra smanship

Inquiry
Inquiring beyond the “necessary” to explore other areas, look at
things differently, and bring these findings back into our work. Inquiry

Think smarter
Individual lines of inquiry are what will, more than anything
else, drive us to develop greater maturity of the discipline of web design. Think smarter

Vocabulary
It's my belief that our community has a shared responsibility
to expand this visual language as it applies to the ebb and flow of the web, and in turn evolve our wri en and verbal vocabulary. Vocabulary
Responsive Web Design
The terms responsive and adaptive are distinct yet related, and
have evolved naturally from outdated web-based layout terminology Responsive web design

What next?

We are the web. We are the makers, the explorers,
the end users. What next?
