RESS: Responsive Design + Server Side Components

There's no shortage of debate about the best way to develop Web sites that work well across many networked devices. Some teams favor a client-side approach while others lean towards server-side solutions. But I'm increasingly interested in solutions that try to bring together the best of both worlds.

Server side solutions, on the other hand, only send what a client needs. So both client and server side adaptations have benefits but a few limitations. In a nutshell, RESS combines adaptive layouts with server side component (not full page) optimization. How's it Work?
