The Principles of Adaptive Design

Love your devices: adaptive web design with media queries, viewport and more

Today we are going to talk about getting more satisfaction from battery-powered devices... ...no silly, I'm talking about the vast profusion of alternative browsing devices sweeping through our society like wildfire. A lot of us used to deal with support for mobile browsers with very short-sighted expressions of duality, such as completely separate mobile and desktop sites, or handheld media type stylesheets to provide separate styling to mobile.

But designing for specific browsers hasn't been cool since IE and Netscape were slugging it out in the mid to late 90's, and it sucked even more back then because we pretty much had to create separate site versions if we wanted to support both contenders.
