User-centric design, but device-centric development
Responsive Web Design
Future of Web Design = Knowing How to Code

@media (min-resolution: 2dppx) {} Media Queries
Categories are obsolete. Parameters are the future.

“Media queries can be used to do more than patch
broken layouts: with proper planning, we can begin to choreograph content proportional to screen size, serving the best possible experience at any width.” http://trentwalton.com/2011/07/14/content-choreography/

2. Web design is constrained by the tools we have
3. Better tools are on the way
4. Start to think how you can make beautiful sites
that work everywhere
Some of the CSS properties shown in this talk are
experimental and subject to change. Check http://caniuse.com and http://html5please.com for latest implementation status. Peter Gasston @stopsatgreen
