Respons(ible)ive Design, Mobile First

Responsive design is about more than media queries, Bootstrap, and hamburger icons (is it lunchtime yet?). It is about adeptly adapting your content for performance, device, context, and usability. What good is a responsive site if it takes forever to load? Is it a good idea to retrofit your site for responsive design? Should I use a framework and if so which one? What if my true love doesn't love me back? (Don't be ridiculous, you’re amazing!) What the heck is mobile first?

We'll answer these questions and more and explore real-world stories, gotchas, design patterns, tools, and sources of inspiration. At least one member of the audience will receive a copy of Luke Wroblewski's Mobile First and templates for user-flow sitemaps and mobile wire frames will be shared with all.
