The Multi-Device Survival Guide: Web Development Tools to Survive the Device Explosion
by Ian Lintner
If you thought cross browser testing was bad. Cross device testing has become a nightmare worse than this season of the Walking Dead. Users expect websites to work well on all of their devices. To survive in the new multi-device ecosystems web developers are looking to new types of tools to build modern websites. Join in the discussion and we will look at some of these new classes of development tools and how they are applied.
Topics Covered:
* Defining the Problem: Serving usable content to multiple types of devices.
* Current Solutions: Responsive & Adaptive Websites
* Building a Responsive Site Using Bootstrap
* Efficient CSS Development using a LESS
* Portable UI components using Handlebars.js templates.
* Multi-Device Testing
* Customizing your workflow
