Presentation: "There's Just One Web"

Track: Developer Track / Time: Tuesday 15:40 - 16:30 / Location: Room 1

Mobile is all the rage these days — and it should be. Many website owners believe creating a separate mobile website is the solution, with browser sniffing to redirect all "mobile" traffic to a separate m.example.com domain. But it turns out that most of the time this is a terrible solution. Come hear Jen Simmons talk about how there's only one web — not a mobile web separate from the desktop web. And learn how you can use HTML5 and responsive web design to create one unified website or web app for your project and Just Have It Work™ on a wide range of devices.
