Advertisement Almost every new client these days wants a mobile version of their website. It’s practically essential after all: one design for the BlackBerry, another for the iPhone, the iPad, netbook, Kindle — and all screen resolutions must be compatible, too. In the next five years, we’ll likely need to design for a number of additional inventions. When will the madness stop? In the field of Web design and development, we’re quickly getting to the point of being unable to keep up with the endless new resolutions and devices.

Responsive Web design is the approach that suggests that design and development should respond to the user’s behavior and environment based on screen size, platform and orientation. The Concept Of Responsive Web Design Ethan Marcotte1 wrote an introductory article about the approach, “Responsive Web Design992,” for A List Apart.

Iphone. Perdus sans la nature | François Cardinal | Opinions. «Viens souper!» Ma mère crie sur le pas de la porte. D'un bond, je me lève. Je ramasse mon vélo et salue mes voisins: «À tantôt!» Puis je quitte le sous-bois sur ma monture, empruntant le sentier qui me mène directement à la maison. Cette scène qui se déroulait presque quotidiennement sur la rue Pérodeau, à Québec, où j'ai grandi, vous est sûrement familière, puisqu'elle faisait partie du quotidien de la plupart des enfants aujourd'hui adultes. Mais à mon fils de 6 ans, en revanche, cette scène ne dit rien du tout. Tout comme elle ne dit rien à ses amis et aux autres enfants nés au tournant du millénaire, dont les rares temps libres sont passés entre quatre murs, plus souvent qu'autrement devant un écran.

Avons-nous, à notre insu, soustrait nos enfants à leur habitat naturel? Le rouleau compresseur de l'urbanisation a lissé, uniformisé, pavé et bétonné les paysages qui regorgeaient jadis de cachettes, de lieux secrets et d'endroits sombres qui faisaient le bonheur des enfants. Perdus sans la nature | Pourquoi les jeunes ne jouent plus dehors et comment y rem?dier. Office 2010: a deeper dive. In every sense of the word, Microsoft Office is huge. Hundreds of millions of people use at least one of the programs in the Office family every day—in enterprises, small and medium-size businesses, homes, and schools. When Microsoft released Office 2010 to manufacturing on April 15, it kicked off an upgrade cycle that will last for several years. I’ve got a unique perspective on Office. I’ve written at least one book about every version of Office since 1994 (that’s eight releases and 10 books in 16 years, for those who are keeping score).

I’ve also written countless magazine articles and blog posts, all of them based on extensive, hands-on experience with the individual Office products. This time around is no exception. Judging by the Talkback comments I’ve seen in various posts here and in quick-and-dirty reviews elsewhere, I know there’s a lot of misconception about what’s in Office 2010. Honestly, I wish Office 2010 was a minor upgrade. Here’s what I cover in this post: Word 2010.
