Web Standards Meetup Tonight

David and I are heading to the Cleveland Web Standards Meetup this evening. Personally, I’m looking forward to it. I’ll be the first to admit that I need to brush up on the current standards, and I’m genuinely curious about what we’ll cover tonight.

Hope to see you there!

Mobile Web Design - book review

A web standards approach for delivering content to mobile devices

Sep 2, 2007 by David Mead photo of 'Mobile Web Design'

★★★★☆ This book does not give you an instant mobile strategy but rather the tools, resources and focused information to go about sorting out the wheat from the chaff in this still new and confusing area.

Cameron Moll has laid out a really nice entry point for getting to grips with designing sites for use with mobile devices. An easy to read PDF with nice screenshots from a myriad of different devices (iPhone included) and clearly explained snippets of code make this a must read.

He points out 4 different approaches for getting your content out to the mobile masses and clearly states that all are equally viable at the moment. It’s still like the Wild West out there and making use of web standards and paying attention to the context in which your site may be being accessed is all important.

I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in the mobile web.

Also, Cleveland’s own, punchkickinteractive’s Ryan Unger was a reviewer for the book and is also cited in the Flash Lite section.
