Designing For Android Smashing - RWD - Code Advertisement Almost every new client these days wants a mobile version of their website. It’s practically essential after all: one design for the BlackBerry, another for the iPhone, the iPad, netbook, Kindle — and all screen resolutions must be compatible, too. In the field of Web design and development, we’re quickly getting to the point of being unable to keep up with the endless new resolutions and devices. Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. The Concept Of Responsive Web Design Ethan Marcotte1 wrote an introductory article about the approach, “Responsive Web Design992,” for A List Apart. “Recently, an emergent discipline called “responsive architecture” has begun asking how physical spaces can respond to the presence of people passing through them. Transplant this discipline onto Web design, and we have a similar yet whole new idea.
11 Reasons why responsive web design isn't that cool! Since Ethan Marcotte published his seminal article on Responsive Web Design there’s been an explosion of articles related to this topic. The guy truly made a good work also publishing a book about it , deepening on what many consider, since then, should be a standard for web design.

The Real Problems with Design Thinking « Helen Walters: Writer, Editor [Latest word works, published over at Fast Company.] Rumors of the failure of design thinking appear to have been somewhat overblown. At the recent Design Research conference in Seattle, the consensus reportedly held that whether or not you like the term, design thinking is here to stay. At a recent panel discussion in New York, “Design Thinking: Dead or Alive?” Nonetheless, it’s also somewhat hard to find many fervent supporters of design thinking. The latest book on the topic is Designing for Growth, a “design thinking toolkit for managers” and it provides a pretty good snapshot of how people are thinking about the discipline right now. This is all, arguably, fine. There are certainly ways to make them less of a random shot in the dark, and most companies could use some help in thinking about innovation in a more systematic, organized fashion. Another problem: The question of when design thinking is actually appropriate remains unanswered and apparently unclear to many. Like this:

Responsive Web Design Guidelines and Tutorials - Smashing Magazine Winning a User Experience Debate By Cennydd Bowles Originally published: Jul 12, 2011 The following article is an excerpt from Cennydd Bowles and James Box's new book, Undercover User Experience Design. Although critique should be constructive and impartial, it's inevitable that at times you'll disagree with the feedback you receive. To bring UX to the heart of the business, you must persuade colleagues to trust your opinion and expertise. If you're skeptical about your stakeholders' requests, try them out anyway, then do it your way too. Nevertheless, sometimes you'll disagree with stakeholder feedback so strongly that you have to take a stand. The Validation Stack provides a three-tiered approach to design validation.
