–Jacob R. Stuart, Web/UI Designer
“It’s impossible to build for the web today without taking various screen sizes and form factors into account; you never know if your user will be on a phone, tablet, or desktop. This book helps lay the groundwork for building responsive web designs. It’s really a must-read.”
–Cameron Banga, Co-founder, 9magnets, LLC
“Anyone looking for a comprehensive book on responsive design tactics would do well to pick up a copy of Responsive Mobile Design. Phil does a stellar job of breaking down the how and why of RWD in this practical guide to designing for a wide spectrum of screen sizes and devices.”

“While the three initial technical ingredients of RWD (fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries) still stand true, building a site today requires much more thought and know-how than it used to. This book will take you beyond the basics and teach you the ins and outs of modern web development.”
–Erik Runyon, Director of Web Communications, University of Notre Dame
