Pantalk: Responsive Web Design

Presented at Mobilism.nl Device diversity is about to get an order of magnitude worse. SmartTVs are hitting the market in mass this year. Sony, LG, Vizio, and Samsung are all shipping televisions with Google TV built in. And if the rumors that Apple will release a TV this year are true, 2012 will turn out to be the year web developers start to tackle the glass screen hanging on our walls. Why should web developers focused on mobile learn about the web on TVs? Because TVs represent the next challenge in device proliferation. They share common characteristics with their smaller brethren. They create new challenges and opportunities we haven't encountered yet. And most importantly, learning how to build for TVs helps inform our practices of building for mobile devices.

Devices that consume the web are being created at a never-before heard of rate. They’re getting smaller, lighter, faster, sharper, and sexier. Life is awesome right? But what about us web designers? Let’s talk about how to get the best possible ratio of speed vs awesome, and what techniques to use for fast and stunning visual experiences.

The document discusses how machines and software can help humans by doing tasks like preventing mistakes, performing repetitive tasks, filling information gaps, remembering and categorizing information, improving understanding, enabling new communication methods, and providing protection. It describes how advances in AI, APIs, cloud services, and data processing have made it possible to build useful and helpful interfaces. The conclusion encourages developers to use these capabilities to create simple, human-centric interfaces that benefit users.

This is the same workshop from August, but about 40 new slides, mostly at the end. A hands-on workshop for DC Web Women on September 11, 2012.

Is the buzz around Progressive Web Apps real or are they simply the latest fad? In this talk, you’ll learn exactly what Progressive Web Apps are, what problems they solve, and what new design challenges they present. Jason will show how organizations are using Progressive Web Apps to provide better and faster user experiences.

A talk members of the Forum One Communications UX team gave at UXCampDC 2013. The focus was on some pain points we hit while trying to wrap our brains around Responsive Design and the tool we've made to help sketch solutions more easily and quickly.

This document discusses the challenges of mobile search engine optimization (SEO). It notes that more searches are now performed on mobile than desktop, and users spend most of their time in apps rather than browsers on mobile. For mobile search results, Google aims to provide the most relevant content from both mobile-friendly websites and apps. However, there are challenges such as blocking mobile crawlers using robots.txt, ensuring app and web content match for indexing, and determining whether to build a mobile app or rely on a responsive website. The document provides advice on allowing CSS and JS files to be crawled for mobile, and emphasizes that apps must provide a compelling user experience to stand out from competitors.

This document discusses some of the key challenges of mobile search engine optimization (SEO). It notes that more searches are now performed on mobile than desktop, and users spend most of their time in apps rather than browsers on mobile. Some challenges for mobile SEO include properly configuring robots.txt files to allow crawling of CSS and JS files, ensuring content within apps matches content on websites, and determining whether to build apps or focus on responsive websites. Experts comment that app links in search results perform well but responsive websites can also be effective. Overall, the document outlines technical and strategic challenges for optimizing content and apps for mobile search.

Responsive web design allows a single website to be accessed from any device by dynamically adjusting the layout depending on screen size. The content remains the same across devices but is formatted appropriately for each screen width through techniques like adjusting column numbers and widths. Designing first for mobile forces focus on essential content and ensures parity across devices. Examples demonstrate how navigation, images and text restructure seamlessly for an optimized experience on any device.

The document is a slide presentation about AMP (Accelerated Mobile Pages) that discusses: - Mobile web challenges like slow devices and networks where JavaScript does heavy lifting. - How AMP addresses these with techniques like inlined CSS, prioritized resource loading, and async JavaScript to make pages load instantly. - Examples of companies that use AMP and the types of content it works for. - How AMP can be used as an entry point or data source to build progressive web apps with features like service workers for offline use.

Presentation by Clarissa Peterson for LVL Studio's UX Soiree, November 21, 2012, in Montreal, Quebec. Overview of responsive design with focus on user experience.

The document discusses how developers have become disconnected from users as technology has advanced. It argues that developers should focus on building interfaces that are simple, human-centered, and empower users rather than just improving tools. Machine learning and AI can be used to build helpful interfaces, but developers must focus on the human experience and inclusive design. The talk aims to inspire developers to use their skills to improve people's lives rather than just profit or automation.

1. Mobile devices have become the primary way people access media through smartphones, tablets, and other screens. Most media interactions are with mobile screens and smartphone ownership continues to rise rapidly. 2. Opportunities on mobile go beyond apps to considering how mobile usage has changed user behavior and discovering the paths users take to content across multiple devices. User research is key to understanding this. 3. Design for mobile must optimize for thumb and eyeball-only interactions, use touch targets large enough for fingers, and consider network limitations. Images should be optimized for recognition or description.

The document provides tips for optimizing websites for mobile search engines. It discusses the differences between mobile and desktop search, including that mobile has carrier search engines that are often white-labeled versions of other engines. It also outlines strategies for mobile search engine optimization, including appropriate site architecture, clean code, relevant mobile content, and submitting the site to various mobile directories and search engines.

In 2016, mobile internet usage exceeded desktop for the first time! With over 50% of users on mobile, is your web app optimized for them? Let’s learn about Accelerated Mobile Pages, how AMP address mobile user challenges and build a valid AMP app together! http://nodevember.org/speaker/Lisa%20Huang

Progressive web apps (PWAs) can transform websites by making them more like native apps through the use of service workers, web app manifests, and other modern web capabilities. Some key benefits of PWAs include providing fast and reliable experiences even on slow mobile networks, working regardless of a network connection, and engaging users through web app banners and push notifications. Early results show that PWAs can significantly reduce data usage and increase user engagement, conversion rates, and sales compared to mobile websites. While PWAs work across browsers, including on iOS, their full capabilities are still progressively being adopted.

In this workshop we see how easy is to develop a native Android app for TV using Amazon Fire App Builder and how to connect to a media streaming service using media feeds.

Responsive Webdesign ist in aller Munde und auch die technischen Möglichkeiten scheinen nahezu komplett, um dies auch technisch hochwertig umzusetzen. Und trotzdem scheitern eklatant viele RWD-Projekte. Dies liegt vor allem am Workflow, der ein Umdenken in allen Positionen erfordert. Das klassische Modell, indem erst das PSD erstellt wird und dann angefangen wird zu programmieren, scheint nicht mehr zu funktioneren. Und dies ist auch logisch, wenn man sich den RWD-Workflow einmal genauer ansieht. Der Talk geht genau auf diesen Prozess ein, beleuchtet diesen intensiv und zeigt Möglichkeiten für Entscheider, Grafiker aber auch Web-Worker auf, wie man RWD überhaupt vernünftig und ohne Risiko verkauft bekommt, wie man dem Workflow optimal folgt, wie Verträge im RWD-Universum aussehen und wie man seine Abnahme am Ende des Projekts trotzdem optimal hinbekommt.

This document discusses responsive web design (RWD), which is a process that creates a single website compatible across devices with different screen sizes and orientations. RWD uses a flexible layout, media queries, and viewport meta tags to dynamically change the layout depending on screen size. Common frameworks that help with RWD include Bootstrap, Foundation, and Semantic UI. Websites can be tested for responsiveness using tools like Responsivetest.net and Responsinator.com.

Nur responsive zu sein reicht nicht mehr – zu leicht geht man sonst im Meer der Parallax-Templates und gleichförmigen Frameworks unter. Thomas Piribauer und Björn Ganslandt (beide von intuio aus Wien) zeigen, wie Designworkflows sich verändern müssen um gleichzeitig innovative und responsive Websites zu gestalten, die auch unter schwierigen Bedingungen noch gut funktionieren. Der Kern ist dabei eine enge Zusammenarbeit zwischen Design und Entwicklung, bei der Frontend-Performance immer im Fokus bleibt. Prototypen ersetzen für uns Photoshop-Mockups bzw. Wireframes und erlauben so schnelle Iterationen und mutige Experimente jenseits gängiger Prototyping-Tools.

Dynamisches Umdenken des Projektmanagements in Responsive-Projekten. Ein Manifest. Von Dirk Pogrzeba

Responsive Web Design, die Zukunft des Web! Virtualtrends veranstaltet mehrmals im Jahr die Digital Media Night. Auf dieser Veranstaltung vermitteln wir Wissen aus der Branche und informieren über aktuelle Trends.

Responsive Design ist momentan in aller Munde. Häufig wird es gleichgesetzt mit Design für mobile Geräte. Dabei geht es eigentlich darum Design zu schaffen, welches unabhängig vom verwendeten Endgerät ist. Endgeräte sind heutzutage neben klassischen Desktopsystemen und Laptops, zunehmend auch mobile Endgeräte wie Smartphones und Tablets, welche andere Eigenschaften und Voraussetzungen haben, die es in Bezug auf Design und Usability zu berücksichtigen gilt. Der Vortrag zeigt auf, welche Chancen sich für Unternehmen ergeben, die mittels Responsive Design ihre Webangebote und Applikationen auf die gewandelte Nutzerschaft optimieren. Dabei werden sowohl technische Grundlagen vermittelt, aber auch fortgeschrittene Fragestellungen ("Mobile First" Entwicklungsansatz, Layout Patterns) behandelt.

Web siteleriniz tüm ekranlara uyum sağlasın.

Zukunftssichere Websites für alle Endgeräte entwickeln Durch die drastische Veränderung der Medienlandschaft und die Vielfalt der Geräte mit denen heutzutage das Internet genutzt wird, ergeben sich neue Anforderungen an moderne Websites. Um diesen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden, reicht die Entwicklung einer klassischen Webpräsenz nicht mehr aus. Smartphones und Tablet-PCs müssen ebenso bedient werden wie Desktop- Rechner mit Widescreen-Monitoren und internetfähige TV-Geräte. Responsive Design stellt einen neuen, zukunftssicheren Ansatz dar, bei dem verschiedene Endgeräte gleichermaßen berücksichtigt sowie Entwicklungs- und Pflegeaufwand der Website gering gehalten werden können.

Responsive web design is a web development approach that creates dynamic changes to the layout of a web page based on the screen size and orientation of the device being used to view the page. It includes use of fluid grids, media queries, and responsive images to optimize pages for viewing on different devices. Common techniques for responsive design include fluid layouts, mostly fluid layouts, adaptive layouts, column dropping, and layout shifters. Popular frameworks that provide pre-written stylesheets for responsive design include Bootstrap and Foundation.

The document summarizes a presentation about mobile app development using Drupal. It discusses statistics showing the rise of mobile usage, compares apps vs mobile web, and outlines an architecture called xProgramD for building mobile apps with Drupal. It also covers challenges like deploying apps, data synchronization, and keeping code maintainable. The presentation encourages focusing technical efforts on serving human needs.

The document discusses the challenges facing the progressive web and introduces progressive web apps (PWAs) as a solution. PWAs are built using modern web standards to provide native app-like experiences through features like push notifications, offline support, and app installation. They address issues with native apps like high installation friction, lack of control for publishers, and app store policies. PWAs are gaining adoption from companies like Alibaba and Housing.com who saw increases in user engagement metrics after implementing PWAs. The document outlines the core components of PWAs and provides an overview of browser and platform support.

Slides from my session at StartupBootcamp Smart City & Living program... You never get a second chance to make a first impression. The same goes for online, where the decision to bounce is often made in the first 2 seconds, and Google will lower your ranking if your site is too slow... This talks is about why startups should care about speed when building product, how to improve design with speed and how to measure & optimize speed and beat the (corporate) competition...

Progressive Web Apps aim to bring the benefits of native mobile apps to the web. They use newer web capabilities like app manifests and service workers to deliver app-like experiences through the browser. App manifests allow web apps to be installed on home screens and launched full screen like native apps. Service workers enable features like offline access and push notifications. Early adopters are seeing increased user engagement through Progressive Web Apps, with metrics like conversions and time spent improving. While browser support is still evolving, Progressive Web Apps provide a promising approach for delivering high-quality mobile experiences through the web.

Introduction to Progressive Web Apps (PWA) criteria, what makes a PWA; service worker protocol, using Lighthouse to audit; meta data in web app manifest for homescreen adds. Also features a deep dive into the top 100 Australian retail sites and five key PWA criteria.

Application Modernization is the hottest buzzword in the IT world today. For many, it means the migration and transformation of an old application to a modern platform and emerging technologies. With Digital Experience solutions, means much more. Application Modernization is about taking what consumers expect from cutting edge mobile experiences, websites and applications – Slick User Experience, Modern Workflow, Mobile Support, Social and Cloud, and applying it to the enterprise space. This session will look at these five areas and apply them to WebSphere Portal and the IBM Digital Experience solutions. Examples will highlight how and why focusing each of these areas can have a positive impact and upside inside your organization and recommendations on how to apply Application Modernization.

The document discusses improving performance for mobile web experiences. It begins by outlining some of the key reasons why mobile web is typically slower than desktop, such as network latency and bandwidth limitations. It then examines the current state of the mobile web, including average page sizes and number of requests. The document proposes that responsive design alone is not enough to optimize for mobile and introduces the concept of adaptive or responsive design with server-side components (RESS). Some techniques discussed for RESS include device detection, image optimization, and CSS processing to remove unnecessary styles. The overall message is that a hybrid approach considering server capabilities alongside responsive design can help create faster, lighter mobile web experiences.

The mix of ever-smarter mobile devices and the constant connectivity of wireless networks have changed the way users access applications—and the way we develop and test them. Deployed applications deliver different content and functionality depending on whether the user is accessing them via a browser, smartphone, or tablet. And applications are accessed over myriad network configurations, including wireless and mobile networks. Brad Stoner presents an in-depth look at performance testing challenges for mobile applications including recording from devices, playing back device-specific requests, and accounting for variances in users’ geographical locations. Discover some of the best mobile performance testing approaches such as emulating mobile networks with varying connection speeds, packet loss, and latency during load tests. Find out when to use real devices vs. emulators to ensure high mobile application performance delivery to all end-users, at all times—on any device or network.

It is easy to think what we have as developers is what people use and that lead us to make the web bloated.

Doug Sillars discusses optimizing images and video delivery for fast loading on mobile. He provides 4 simple optimizations for images: adjusting quality, format, sizing through responsive images, and lazy loading. For video, he examines startup delays and how to balance network load through adaptive bitrate streaming. Proper preloading and avoiding 3rd party interference can improve video start. Tools like WebPageTest and ImageMagick help optimize and measure performance.

In the last year or so things changed drastically. Everybody uses an iPhone6, is connected 24/7 at high-speed without data caps, is healthy, has shiny teeth and loves spending money on your products. All you need to do is constantly innovate and you'll be a major success. The term for this is "the modern web". Another word for it is nonsense. There is a web people want and there is one that people use. We should start thinking about upgrading the one people use and stop chasing our own tail trying to mimick other environments.

The education market has many opportunities to benefit their communities using PWAs to deliver information and application experiences across all devices and platforms.

This document discusses 6 rules for responsive web design: 1. Responsive design doesn't end with squishy layouts - optimize based on user capabilities rather than just screen size. 2. There is no responsive pixie dust - streamline workflows and use rapid prototypes and style tiles to communicate fluid layouts. 3. Your workflow will change - iterate designs quickly through prototypes rather than big reveals. 4. Your tools will change - leverage preprocessors like SASS and frameworks like Foundation for responsive coding. 5. The web is responsive by default - prioritize content and build APIs to support multiple platforms. 6. Embrace unpredictability - acknowledge the constraints of different devices

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html

Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data. The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs. Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution! Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.
