Faster Design Decisions with Style Tiles

Responsive Content: Build a Website that Kicks App
Forget apps, .mobi sites, and smoke signals. Here’s a little secret: you can make one website to cater to different devices and contexts. Designing responsive sites is gaining mainstream acceptance—but how do these sites effect your content strategy? Like the design, content is flexible—expanding based on screen resolution and medium to match the user's context. We need techniques to scale content as beautifully and responsively as our designs.
Responsive content can be used for both good and evil (or at least pleasant and painful user experiences). We'll examine when content should be responsive and when it shouldn't be.
Finally, the tech details: to make content respond, draw on the HTML5 spec, web standards, and semantic markup to systematically flag content. We can also use CSS, JS, and server-side processing to add or remove content from different contexts to create fast-loading sites.

The Page Is Dead
by Jacob Surber
Responsive web design is changing the definition of a "page," as it aims to address the growing variety of device form factors and locations where content is consumed. Additionally, as the web evolves, rules and limitations must be better understood in order to create truly unique content. This session will focus on design philosophy and development techniques to create and adapt your content for maximum impact, regardless of where and how it is consumed. Topics will include: • Proper elements for the proper content • Design for context • Adapt your UI and adapt your content • Design with ratios vs. design with pixels • Know the limitations • Designing with limitations • Let the limitations set you free.

Making eBooks Smarter: Responsive Page Design
by Peter Meyers
Some ebooks are print edition replicas, some are overstuffed mediafests. Neither fulfill one of screen publishing’s biggest promises: adapting content to meet readers’ needs. The digital page can do much more than its “dumb” static counterpart. Possibilities range from memory-coaxing character summaries embedded “beneath” the digital canvas to continuously streamed in updates. Join author Pete Meyers (“Breaking the Page”, O’Reilly) for a lively group chat. He’ll kick off with a fast-paced tour of digital document design principles and best practices. From there he’ll help attendees compare modern readers’ most pressing needs to the kinds of just-in-time services digital books can deliver. Together we’ll swipe away the notion that digital book design is just about picking fonts or adding video. It’s about shaping content on an infinite canvas so that ebook readers become ebook lovers.
