Head First Mobile Web


By Lyza danger Gardner    (Find this book)
Mobile web usage is exploding. Soon, more web browsing will take place on phones and tablets than PCs. Your business needs a mobile strategy, but where do you start? "Head First Mobile Web" shows how to use the web technology you're already familiar with to make sites and apps that work on any device of any size. Put your JavaScript, CSS media query, and HTML5 skills to work, and then optimize your site to perform its best in the demanding mobile market. Along the way, you'll discover how to adapt your business strategy to target specific devices. Navigate the increasingly complex mobile landscape. Take both technical and strategic approaches to mobile web design. Use the latest development techniques--including Responsive Web Design and server-side device detection with WURFL. Learn quickly through images, puzzles, stories, and quizzes.
We think your time is too valuable to waste struggling with new concepts. Using the latest research in cognitive science and learning theory to craft a multi-sensory learning experience, "Head First Mobile Web" uses a visually rich format designed for the way your brain works, not a text-heavy approach that puts you to sleep.  -- Publisher Marketing
