Responsive Web Design Book Released

Today Ethan Marcotte’s Responsive Web Design book was released. The book walks you through everything you need to know about the responsive web, including media queries, flexible layouts and images. He then uses all of that information to help you make decisions about making your website responsive.

I had an advanced copy of the book and can personally vouch for its greatness. It’s brief (less than 150 pages) so you can read it quickly and then act on the new information.

The official marketing blurb:

From mobile browsers to netbooks and tablets, users are visiting your sites from an increasing array of devices and browsers. Are your designs ready? Learn how to think beyond the desktop and craft beautiful designs that anticipate and respond to your users’ needs. Ethan Marcotte will explore CSS techniques and design principles, including fluid grids, flexible images, and media queries, demonstrating how you can deliver a quality experience to your users no matter how large (or small) their display.

If you want to get a taste of what the book has to offer, read Ethan’s A List Apart article “Fluid Images,” which is an excerpt from Chapter 3 of the book.

The book is available in both ebook (pdf and epub) format and printed copy. The book design was done by the talented Jason Santa Maria (read his write-up on the book) so it is definitely worth picking up a printed copy.
