designers & devs: speaking about rwd
TRANSCRIPT
DEVS & DESIGNERS: SPEAKING ABOUT RESPONSIVERamon Lapenta / @ramono
DYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT. THERE ARE ALWAYS CHANGING THINGS
EMBRACE. EXPERIMENT. UPDATE.
WE’VE BEEN BUILDING A WALL
THE PROBLEM IS NOT WHAT WE SAY IS WHAT WE DON’T
THE PROBLEM WITH MISCOMMUNICATION
PINK MEANS WHAT?
HTTP WHO?
WHEN COMMUNICATION IS BROKEN WE START ASSUMING
“DEVELOPERS WILL FIND A WAY TO CODE IT
“IT DOESN’T MATTER IF I PUT THIS BOX HERE INSTEAD
RESEARCH INFORMATION ARCHITECTURE
WIREFRAMES DESIGN
SIGN OFF DEVELOPMENT
DELIVERY
HOW DOES THIS AFFECT RWD?
UNCERTAINTY
DESIGN AND DEVELOP FOR EVERY POSSIBLE SCENARIO
EXTRA PLUGINS. EXTRA POLYFILLS. EXTRA LIBRARIES.
EXTRA IMAGES.
THE CURRENT PROCESS LEADS TO LATE SOLUTIONS FOR
EARLY PROBLEMS

IT’S NOT AN ISSUE WITH RWD IT’S AN ISSUE WITH COMMUNICATION
HANGING ON IN QUIET DESPERATION, IS THE ENGLISH WAY.

WHAT DO WE DO?

TO ACTION, SERVER RESPONSE TIME, CHUNKING, PIXEL DENSITY, HEURISTIC
EVALUATION…
IT’S NOT TOO MUCH IT’S NOT TOO HARD
DESIGNER: GET INVOLVED IN THE BUILDING PROCESS
THE BEST DESIGN CAN’T BE USED IF IT IS TOO SLOW
DEVELOPER: UNDERSTAND BEFORE DISREGARDING A DESIGN DECISION
THE FASTEST APPLICATION MAY NOT BE USABLE IF IT’S NOT WELL DESIGNED
DESIGNER: DON’T ASK IF SOMETHING CAN BE DONEHint: It can. Always.
ASK AT WHAT COST.Hint: It may not be worth it.
DEVELOPER: DON’T JUST REPLY THAT SOMETHING CAN BE DONEHint: We know It can.
EXPLAIN HOW AND AT WHAT COST.Hint: You have to think about it.
GET TOGETHER OFTEN REVIEW SOLUTIONS EARLY
COLLABORATE
For millions of years, mankind lived just like the animals. Then something happened which unleashed the power of our imagination. We learned to talk.
Stephen Hawking (Keep Talking - Pink Floyd)
WE ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT
WE HAVE THE SAME GOALS
WE’RE BUILDING THE SAME WEB
