In this chapter, we'll look into clever practical techniques for improving UX of responsive sites, e.g. designing "responsive modules" such as mega-drop downs, tables, calendars, accordions, maps, sliders, PDF and iconography — and a dash of anti-patterns to avoid as well.

We've designed the book to be as practical and hands-on as possible. No fluff, just the things that have actually worked or failed. Every chapter should stand for itself. It should deliver the value you expect, and exceed your expectations by far.

Smashing Book 5

"Smashing Book #5 has completely changed the potential for books around the web. This thing is ridiculous in how it dives deep into a topic and continues to dive deeper until you feel as though your brain might explode from the knowledge.

Smashing Book #5 is now your RWD bible. Stop searching, buy this book, and spend a weekend filling your brain with the most useful, technical information on RWD you can find anywhere.

And that's what is most impressive to me about this book. It's no different than sitting in a work environment with these authors and seeing how they get the job done. When you are trying to get into this field you are often left on your own to figure things out."

— Paul Scrivens, Smashing Book 5: Review

We've been collecting other reviews and testimonials as well. Well, basically it's just a useful, practical quality book. We know that you will not be disappointed. Get the book right away.
