Depuis quelques mois, beaucoup de développeurs et d’intégrateurs web entendent parler de responsive design , c’est à dire avoir un seul site web qui s’adapte parfaitement à la taille de l’écran de l’utilisateur…
Seulement au final, peu de sociétés ont le courage de se lancer dans cette voie, et de transformer leur site pour que celui-ci soit “100% responsive”. En effet, cela demande énormément de travail : il faut un design totalement adapté, une intégration quasi-parfaite, des choix marketing importants, une recette plus complète (définitions d’écran * navigateurs web = démultiplication du nombre de tests), etc.
Aujourd’hui, je vais donc vous présenter rapidement en quoi consiste la création d’un site responsive, et comment transformer, sans trop d’efforts, votre site classique en un site agréable à consulter sur tablettes et smartphones !

A curated collection of great CSS, Sass, LESS and Stylus libraries.
In this tutorial we’ll look at bringing some of the web’s mobile techniques to HTML email. User take-up of mobile email is massive: some email campaigns get more mobile opens than desktop, yet many marketing emails render poorly on mobile devices. Mobile support on the web has never been better – so if you’re sending emails that drive customers to the web, it makes sense to design mobile friendly emails too.
The design challenges for mobile email are similar to those on the web: we have a small screen, a touch interface and (sometimes) users are out and about – so the design approach is similar. We have one extra challenge, in that many older mobile email clients lack proper support for media queries.
With this in mind, our best approach is to design a campaign that works well on both desktops and mobiles, and then use media queries where they’re supported to add an extra layer of optimisation for smartphones.

Steve Fisher and Alaine Mackenzie set out their vision for responsive web design as it approaches maturity
Let’s be clear: design is the solution only if it focuses on the deeper issues at hand, the why behind everything. A solid process should always guide our work, but we need to embrace something more flexible. Our medium has finally proven itself to be fluid, so shouldn’t our process? Think about system design: you need to see both the whole picture and the tiny details. Impossible? Far from it!
Frank Chimero puts it beautifully in his book The Shape of Design: “There is a part where the artist steps back from the easel to gain a new perspective on the work. Painting is equal parts near and far: when near, the artist works hard to make his mark; when far, he assesses the work in order to analyse its qualities. He steps back to let the work speak to him.”
We need to let our work, our medium, speak to us. With the rise of responsive design, we are finally embracing our medium as it was meant to be: fluid. It is a brilliant time to step back and assess the work, analyse, and embrace a new way of doing things, a new process. Gone are the days of static mock-ups and web designers who don’t understand code. It is time for a responsive process.

A year-and-a-half ago, a small group of Twitter employees set out to improve our team’s internal analytical and administrative tools. After some early meetings around this one product, we set out with a higher ambition to create a toolkit for anyone to use within Twitter, and beyond. Thus, we set out to build a system that would help folks like us build new projects on top of it, and Bootstrap was conceived.
Made by myself and Jacob Thornton, Bootstrap is an open-source front-end toolkit created to help designers and developers quickly and efficiently build awesome stuff online. Our goal is to provide a refined, well-documented, and extensive library of flexible design components built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for others to build and innovate on. Today, it has grown to include dozens of components and has become the most popular project on GitHub with more than 13,000 watchers and 2,000 forks.
Here we’ll shed some light on how and why Bootstrap was made, the processes used to create it, and how it has grown as a design system.

Avec la généralisation des technologies JS, CSS3 et HTML5, il est aujourd'hui possible de faire des sites Web qui n'ont rien à envier aux interfaces des logiciels que l'on peut trouver sur nos machines. Le revers de la médaille est une complexité croissante qui nécessite de faire appel à des professionnels . Quand vous devez faire un site personnel ou pour une association, il est difficile, à moins de s'appeler Cresus, de passer par un Web designer.
Heureusement des frameworks libres permettent avec un minimum d'investissement et de connaissances de bâtir des sites Web dans les règles de l'art. Nous allons dans ce billet parler du plus médiatique d'entre eux: Bootstrap. L'idée n'est pas de traduire la documentation officielle qui est par ailleurs très bien faite, mais de partager avec-vous mes méthodes que je suis en train d'utiliser pour développer le prochain thème du Blog de Nicolargo qui sera, vous l'avez compris largement basé sur Bootstrap.

I'm sure we all agree that responsive web design has been one of the biggest subjects in the last few years and will continue with the growth of mobile. As a senior front and backend developer with a strong interest in research and development at my company, I am responsible to evaluate techniques like RWD. Whenever I received a link to a totally new CSS grid system, I became more and more skeptical. They did not feel "right" to me, but I wasn't sure why.
Then I happened to come across a great article by Ian Yates titled "Life Beyond 960px: Designing for Large Screens" which introduced me to the term "Screen Real Estate". Prior to that, I did some deeper research using rem units in CSS which was a fortunate coincidence. Suddenly I knew what felt wrong.
When talking about RWD we mostly talk about devices below the target width of our layouts. But what about larger screens? Most of you will agree that a non RWD website with a target width of 960px looks a bit odd or lost on such a screen. Things are becoming more obvious when we talk about people accessing our websites with a 60" TV. Sure, these TV sets will most likely still only have full HD resolution. But keep in mind that whoever sits in front of them is probably at least 4m/10f away from the screen.

The varying viewports that our websites encounter on a daily basis continue to demand more from responsive design. Not only must we continue to tackle the issues of content choreography — the art of maintaining order and context throughout the chaotic ebb and flow of the Web browser — but we must also meet the expectations of users. They’re not sitting still.
xy.css is a lightweight CSS template for building responsive liquid-grid designs. It brings together the best CSS techniques from around the Web and integrates them into a single, powerful style sheet template.
Designing websites for smartphones is easy compared to retrofitting those already in place. More than that, it’s embarrassing how, almost eight years after CSS gained practical acceptance, a lack of foresight haunts those of us who write HTML.
Converting older websites to responsive design causes headaches not because small screens are difficult, but because most HTML documents were written under an assumption about screen size. Prior to the iPhone’s introduction in mid-2007, designers could rely on windows at least 700 pixels wide (if they ignored accessibility). Conventions like navigation bars, two- and three-column layout and hover effects evolved to fit the mouse-based wide-screen standard. Designers made their upper left corner logos clickable because it was expected.

Wikipédia nomme le Responsive Design ainsi : “La notion de Responsive Web Design regroupe différents principes et technologies qui forment une approche de conception de sites Web dans laquelle un site est conçu pour offrir au visiteur une expérience de consultation optimale facilitant la lecture et la navigation. L’utilisateur peut ainsi consulter le même site Web à travers une large gamme d’appareils (moniteurs d’ordinateur, smartphones, tablettes, TV, etc.).”

There’s a debate over which technique of creating mobile-ready websites is the best.
Google advocates creating responsive web designs, while Jakob Nielsen, a renowned usability consultant, endorses the creation of dedicated mobile sites (but he was subsequently slammed by some web designers).
A third option is also gaining in popularity, where the web server renders the appropriate HTML and CSS from the same URL depending on the device a web page on the site is being requested from (which has been referred to as responsive design + server side components).
This article will discuss each of these methods.
Real-world examples of websites using a particular method are provided under each section.
The mobile device used to test and gather data for all examples is an iPhone 4 using iOS 5.0.

It's hard to believe I have been blogging for more than 7 years. Michael Wozniak, my hallmate during my freshman year at Georgia Tech, had gotten me into Gentoo Linux the year prior and told me he was playing with WordPress 1.2. Compared to the MediaWiki site I was running at the time that piqued my curiosity and I began blogging on WordPress on my G4 Mac Mini that summer. I immediately fell in love with it and began learning CSS and PHP to tweak the theme.

When we built websites we usually started by defining the body text. The body text definition dictates how wide your main column is, the rest used to follow almost by itself. Used to. Until recently, screen resolution was more or less homogenous. Today we deal with a variation of screen sizes and resolutions. This makes things much more complicated.
In the heat of the relaunch I wrote a quick blog post on responsive typography, focussing solely on the aspect of our latest experiment: responsive typefaces. Without knowing the history of iA, you’d miss some key aspects to the responsive typography and design in our relaunched site. Instead of mashing up all our articles on the matter, I decided to start from scratch and explain responsive typography step by step. This is step one.

Inline comments explain how and when to use some of the most common HTML5 elements.
Can also be used as a guide when building your own pages from scratch.
No JavaScript libraries such as jQuery or Modernizr are included, as they may be completely unnecessary.
It does include Normalize.css and original html5shiv as the former aids cross browser similarity and the latter is the minimum requirement for HTML5 documents to render in older versions (8 and below) of Internet Explorer.
Some of the WAI-ARIA roles are also included.
Templates that explain how to use HTML5 audio and video are also available.
