Sebastian will delve into design, programming and mobile/tablet considerations. The session will cover conditional stylesheets, JavaScript, patching, contributed modules, some PHP and how to override the output of a particular image style with a custom module.
From Fixed to Responsive
Mario Hernandez (@designsdrive) is a Front-End Web Developer and Lead Designer for The U.S. District Court Central District of California, the largest Federal Court in the United States. In 2012, Mario lead the design and development of the Court's public-facing website which is powered by Drupal.
Using a theme provided by the Administrative Office in DC as a starting point, the website was transformed into a responsive website making the first of its kind for a Federal Court. In this session, Mario will discuss the challenges and opportunities presented during this project and will describe the various techniques used to turned a fixed-width theme into a responsive theme.
