About the Talk
Mobile traffic is already overtaking desktop traffic in some parts of the world, and soon it will in the U.S., but the barrier for some people to create sites that work across devices can seem too high. Building prototypes for web sites and web apps is getting harder, and the need to have a working prototype to use and get feedback on is more critical than ever.
In this talk, we'll focus on solutions for rapidly prototyping for all devices at once. We'll delve into Foundation, a new HTML5/CSS/JS framework, to quickly prototype sites and web apps that work on any kind of device, at any resolutions, with a variety of capabilities and constraints.
Through code examples, we'll look at creating complex layouts in minutes that let you easily try out different experiences and different interactions. The key to success in the new online world is rapid prototyping and iteration, so come hear about a slick new way to get things done.
